Mia Ross, a Master's student at St. John's International Communication program attended the annual Global Fusion conference on global media and communication research, this year held at Temple University from October 21-23.
Listening to several notable speakers from universities all over the country, Mia learned about violence, conflict and surveillance as well as representations of race and gender in media. During the conference, the graduate student also attended a Keynote on the rise of Islamic terrorist groups, and media as a War Machine. "The presentations about gender, activism, prison radio, and race expanded my perception of cultural issues to a more global scope", Mia concludes.
