Big Data, Communications and Media Theory: Conceptual Challenges

Join us for a roundtable discussion convened by Cambridge Digital Humanities Network, the Cambridge Media Reading Group and Cambridge Big Data. This roundtable will explore the reflexive impact of Big Data on how we theorise the media, and vice versa. Our panelists – Wendy Pullan (Architecture), John Naughton (CRASSH), and Sharath Srinivasan (POLIS) – will consider what concepts such as network, communication and medium mean in the Big Data era, and their new roles in defining community and the public sphere.
