I am co-convenor of a symposium of ideas, methods and perspectives for research into digital culture, focusing on mobile media/devices, being held at Curtin University in association with Murdoch University. This is the first of three symposia in 2012 to be organised through the Creative Networks and Commons research cluster, in the Faculty of Humanities. Featuring Jean Burgess, Larissa Hjorth and Rowan Wilken, as well as reponses by Clare Lloyd and Ingrid Richardson, the symposium will explore emerging research that is already helping us understand this new social and cultural phenomenon, with particular attention to the way mobile networked devices enable new forms of conversation and play, in both public and private domains, and the blurring of boundaries between the two.
