Masterclass with Prof. Jeffrey Alexander on 22 Oct

Saturday, 22 October, 2016, 10.00-16.00

School of Sociology, University College Dublin, Sociology Seminar Room (D418), Newman Building, Belfield, Dublin.


This Master Class is mainly directed at postgraduate students from those academic disciplines that study media, culture and journalism and to practitioners working in the field. For more information and registration details please contact Andreas Hess, School of Sociology, University College Dublin, Belfield, Dublin 4 (a.hess@ucd.ie)

On occasion of the publication of The Crisis of Journalism Reconsidered (Cambridge University Press, June 2016), UCD’s School of Sociology has invited two of the editors, Jeffrey C. Alexander (Yale) and MarĂ­a Luengo (Madrid), and a former editorial board member of the Irish Times, Paul Gillespie, to discuss with us the book’s main themes in this Master Class: the relationship between journalistic practices, democratic culture(s), technological changes and challenges, and how these have impacted on the profession and its ethics. This one-day Master Class is limited to max. 25 participants, so registration is absolutely essential. A small contribution (€20) for catering and to cover some of the costs also applies.
