Journalism and communication is undergoing deep transformative changes, globalization and digital dynamicx reorganizing institutions, practices, economics and publics. The many implications for culture and society invite an interdisciplinary approach to the study of media and communication, critique and the challenge of new learning designs reflecting the changing role of media and communication institutions in society. At the top you will find a wide range of web resources detailing these issues. Below are some of the conferences, journals and magazines I follow in that same exploration. Further down you will find my teaching outlined, my research and my other activities.

Higher Education and Blockchain
Making sense of decentralizing technology As part of an Erasmus+ project I am engaged in, I recently edited together a video based on talks with Phil Komarny, talks that have occurred over the span of a few years. The particular theme coming out here, centers on Blockchain and the various ways in which blockchains might impact on higher education. This was a main theme at our World Learning Summit in 2018. Phil Komarny has been working for a long time on the implications of Blockchain particularly on US higher education. It might well be that the relevance of blockchains comes out differently in Europe and elsewhere outside of the US, but Phil Komarny´s way of presenting the issue might still be relevant. So take a look at this video. Here is a link to Phil. Much of this interview is based on experiences during his tenure at Salesforce, where he was a VP. Phil is currently engaged with Maryville University, innovating their technology eco system. Phil is also a frequent visitor to our World Learning Summits, having been here every year since his first introduction to us in 2018. —
