The Shaping Power of Media – a Live Podcast Discussion

What better way to explore the influence and interplay of media, technology, and human communication than during a live podcast recording at Upper House?

You will be both audience member and participant in a discussion with John Dyer—author, sociologist, and theologian—who will take questions in a live format, focusing on the influence of media on our society, culture, and individual lives. This live recording experience will illustrate what’s involved in the creation of “media ecology,” a field pioneered by social scientist Marshall McLuhan. How media influence our perception, cognition, and behaviors is both subtle and profound. Together we will dig into the gist of the ways various media shape our world.
