Hurry! Hurry! 3 Spots Left!
Monday evenings, starting October 2, from 6:30-9:30 Matthew Stadler will be teaching
a workshop entitled
Using
Global Media.
Matthew “describe(s) it as being ‘ for writers, artists, and activists
who want to reach (or help create) communities near and far; this workshop provides
tools for using interpersonal, material, and digital media globally.’
Meetings will be three hours long and combine pragmatic lessons for using the
tools of global media (roughly summarized on the website) with a more general
discussion about the meanings and histories of these methods. Readings will be
limited to short texts we can read together in class, though I am happy to provide
more extensive reading suggestions to anyone interested.
This is fundamentally a practical class offering real tools for work. I think
that anyone who is already working on a project, be it writing, art, or activism,
will benefit from the workshop. I expect all the students to bring the problems
and challenges of their own projects to bear on our discussions and to use the
workshop for help in solving them. “
The opportunity to connect to a small community that then fleshes out to a larger
one via further connections to future workshop participants is what makes this
prospect unique. The workshop runs for 10 weeks and costs a mere $275.
