Perhaps at no other time in human history have issues involving peoples and place been so important. This year’s symposium focuses on media in peripheral spaces near and far, and how media and communication can be used for social good and equity. The event, organized by the Center for Global Change and Media, marks the official launch of Moody College’s newest center.
