-----------------------------------------------------------
          THE NEW CREATIVE AUDIENCE STUDIES
-----------------------------------------------------------
      A free symposium at Tate Britain, London
        Wednesday 19th May 2004 (1.30 - 5.00)
-----------------------------------------------------------

The Centre for Creative Media Research is holding a symposium 
about new visual, creative research methods being used to 
understand the place of popular media in people's lives. 

These qualitative research methods typically ask participants
to *make* something (e.g. drawings, video, collage, photographs)
as part of the exploration of their relationship with media 
culture.

Anyone interested is welcome to attend, to discuss or just 
to look and listen. The event is free, and tea/coffee will 
be provided. 

If you will be coming, all we ask is that you send an email
to David Gauntlett at dgauntlett@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx 
so that we can monitor the expected numbers.

Further info about the event can be found
