Research events

Welcome to our Ph.D. Inaugural seminar 14 February 2019

In January 2019 The Centre for Research on Media Innovations invited fifteen authors of accepted papers to participate in a workshop. The workshop focused on a collaborative review of accepted papers with the intention of developing them for publication in the special issue of The Journal of Media Innovations. 

Marita Eriksen Haugland is presenting her master thesis: The Cultural Aspect of Video Game Regulation Practices. A comparative study of the differences in video game rating practices between Europe and Japan

This symposium brings together prolific voices from the fields of psychosocial and psychoanalytic studies, offering in-depth analyses of digital media culture. Presentations range from inquiries into fragmented attention to deep play and video-games, from fantasies of masculinity in the ‘Incel’ movement to the psychical dimensions of public argument and the libidinal economy of corporate online platforms.

The Centre for Research on Media Innovations at the University of Oslo invites researchers to submit articles related to the area of Media Innovation and Social Change. Submissions will be peer reviewed and considered for publication in a special issue on this topic in the open-access Journal of Media Innovation. 

This seminar aims at offering knowledge about how to publish in scientific journals with data from one (small) country.

This day of debate is about the personal stories that seldom get told: what it means to be involuntarily childless in a society that tends to revolve around children and what happens when becoming a parent is not what one had expected.

This event aims to contribute new voices, arguments and angles of approach to the Norwegian public debate on fertility, family and parenthood.

What does it mean to be human in the digital age? The question of being human is for networked populations today highly entangled with digital media. The digitalisation of everyday life and our entire lifeworld raises a number of existential issues that relate both to what is mundane and to what is extraordinary. 

The Centre for Research on Media Innovations at the Department of Media and Communications, University of Oslo invites researchers interested in Digital Research Ethics to a seminar and roundtable discussion on 1 December 2017.  We will present and discuss contemporary ethical dilemmas that relate to digital research.
