Zoom in to Moscow for a roundtable on genre

Thursday there will be a roundtable on cognitive genre studies in Moscow. I looks like something one should attend. However, in these COVID19-times, we can all participate over zoom and from the comfort of home. Not that I'd mind going to Moscow, mind. But the travel time to my home office is admittedly shorter. Meet me in virtual Moscow Thursday and remember to take the time difference into account.  

Among the speakers is Michael Sinding whose work on the topic is admirable. I look forward to hearing him. He will speak alongside Russian colleagues whom I don't know but look forward to admiring as well. Read more here.

Genres and media landscapes in virtual-physical learning spaces. Moving frontlines?

International conference of the CCD network, School of Education and Communication, Jönköping University, 12-14 September 2018

The international conference Genres and media landscapes in virtual-physical learning spaces. Moving frontlines?, GeM 2018, aims to create a multi-disciplinary platform for dialoguing on the every-day uses of modality rich, parallel, linked, and hybrid, communicative genres that are embedded in media landscapes and circulate in learning spaces inside and outside institutional settings. The digitized era and the global world of mobility and migration have brought about a shift for human-beings in general and the research enterprise more specifically, thus, making it necessary to (re)consider conditions for communication or languaging as well as for learning and identity production. Today, analogue and digital dimensions are seen as being blurred and interdependent, just as accumulation, density and change, are fundamental features of media landscapes. Genres for representation and communication are created, renewed, transformed and fluid in these flexible and expanding environments

Oh, and I am there as a featured speaker and so are a plethora of other highly fascinating researchers.
