Media Transatlantic: Media Theory in North America and German-Speaking Europe an international conference to be held April 8-10, 2010 at University of British Columbia, Vancouver, Canada is calling for proposals.

In celebration of Nuit Blanche in Toronto and the 45th anniversary of the McLuhan Program in Culture and Technology the walls of the Coach House will be turned into screens. The spirit of Nuit Blanche will be here, in Toronto, in this moment of opening up, switching on, sharing and daring.

The McLuhan Program's mandate is to encourage understanding of the impacts of technology on culture and society from theoretical and practical perspectives, and thus to continue the ground-breaking work initiated by Marshall McLuhan.

The Program offers courses, conducts and supports research, and draws together members of the worldwide community whose interests lie in the inter- and trans-disciplinary studies of culture, communications,  technology and gaining new awareness of the actual effects of all of these.

Through its research, course offerings, publications, speaking engagements, and experimentation in new and old media, the Program also provides a nexus among the University of Toronto, other institutions throughout the world, all levels of government, industry, educators, artists and the general public.


Dominique Scheffel-Dunand has been appointed the new Director of the McLuhan Program in Culture and Technology, effective July 1, 2008, to succeed Derrick de Kerckhove. We thank Derrick for his many years of service as the Director and welcome Dominique in her new role!
