Conspiracy Nation: book discussion with authors Ariel Bogle and Cam Wilson
Media Futures Hub hosted a live conversation at UNSW with the authors Ariel Bogle and Cam Wilson about their recently launched book, Conspiracy Nation.

From PhD to PostDoc
On this episode of the Media Futures Podcast, we hear from Dr Danielle Hynes (Maynooth) and Dr Kevin Witzenberger (QUT), two postdoctoral researchers who recently completed their PhDs in the Media Futures Hub at the University of New South Wales, as they share tips and strategies from their experiences of moving from PhD to Postdoc. Recent years have seen a move from approaching the PhD experience as aimed primarily at the production of a thesis, to the more expansive aim of cultivating a researcher. Amid this changing academic landscape, this discussion addresses a series of increasing relevant questions: How can HDRs best position themselves for postdoctoral opportunities beyond the thesis? What is the contribution and value of research networks in the development of researchers? How can HDRs find Postdoc opportunities and then position themselves as the best candidate?
This conversation was recorded at the From PhD to PostDoc workshop at the University of New South Wales in October 2024, hosted by the UNSW Data Justice Research Network and the UNSW Media Futures Hub. This episode was produced by Mitchell Price and Tanja Dreher.

Beyond Media Diversity E4: The Crisis of Diversity
On this fourth and final episode we hear from Professor Anamik Saha (Leeds) on the crisis of diversity. Anamik’s talk imagines how media can proactively challenge racism in society, and how a radical reimagining of diversity can contribute to this urgent task.
Beyond Media Diversity is a series of four episodes from the Media Futures Hub which takes a critical look at diversity debates in the media, examining how these are limiting (and limited), what decolonial and anti-colonial alternatives could look like, and how we might divest from the diversity paradigm.
The series was recorded at the Beyond Media Diversity Symposium at the University of New South Wales in June 2024, hosted by the Media Futures Hub at the School of the Arts and Media. This podcast mini-series is produced by Mitchell Price, Tanja Dreher, and Sukhmani Khorana.
