KEEPING IT REAL: NARRATIVES OF ORDINARY AND EXTRAORDINARY PEOPLE ACROSS MEDIA Friday 3 September 2010
The Executive Business Centre, Bournemouth University, 89 Holdenhurst Road, Bournemouth, BH8 8EB
The Narrative Research Group based in the Media School at Bournemouth University is hosting an interdisciplinary one-day symposium that will examine the representation of real people across media. Invited speakers include professionals, practitioners and scholars working with stories about real people in journalism, literature, visual media, online spaces and popular culture. It is hoped that the symposium will provide a forum to bring together those interested in the intersections between narrative theory and media/cultural studies.
This event is free to attend, and coffee and lunch will be provided on the day.
