We'll be discussing a working paper from Dr Campbell Thomson (King's College London), titled "Memeing the Great Reset: Circulating post-COVID conspiracies in the UK Freedom Movement".

On Monday, 30 March, I will open the seminar by introducing our appointed discussant(s) and inviting them to commence the discussion by sharing their comments on the paper with the list. Following this, I will open the floor to all list members for further discussion.

We are excited to celebrate the 75th edition of the MediaNet E-seminar series with Campbell’s excellent paper, and we hope you will join the conversation! Please feel free to share this event with colleagues and students who might be interested, and encourage them to participate.

See you on Monday!

About the Network e-seminars

The Media Anthropology Network e-seminars are email-based discussions centred on media anthropology-related papers (e.g., working papers, published materials) or events (e.g., follow-up seminars on workshops or panels). Discussions typically run over a two-week period, with discussion materials circulated in advance by the Network Convenors. Each e-seminar features a moderator and discussants to facilitate discussion; however, all list members are welcome to participate. Many authors find the constructive feedback valuable in enhancing their manuscripts for publication.
