[TUESDAY] BERKMAN LUNCHEON SERIES on MOBILE SOCIAL MEDIA AND ATTENTION

Topic: Art of noise: Mobile social media and attention
Guest: Kate Crawford, University of New South Wales

How do we manage the increasing demands of network connectivity, from mobiles, email, and social media? Debates are raging about reduced attention spans and information overload - with particular focus on young people being at risk. Sharing early findings from a large, three-year study of mobile media use in Australia, this talk will bring an historical context to the idea of noise, and give a snapshot of how 'mobile social spheres' are developing - particularly for 18-30 year olds.

About Kate:

Dr Kate Crawford - author of Adult Themes and Associate Professor in Media Research at the University of New South Wales - is an Australian Research Council Postdoctoral Fellow. She is also an electronic musician who has released four albums and runs a vinyl-only record label.
