At the end of our keynote for #Nordmedia25 @annettemarkham.bsky.social and I asked the audience how we should do to build better futures, how we as media researchers can make things better. The buzz of 400 people in an auditorium was amazing! Here are some of the ideas! jilltxt.net/what-should-...

✨HAPPENING NOW✨
#NORDMEDIA25 is kicking off, right here at the University of Southern Denmark! Scholars from all over the nordics have made their way to Odense, to share their research and ideas on "imagining livable futures" 🔮.
Velkommen til SDU! 🤗

And we're off: #Nordmedia25
Looking forward to great discussions with Nordic research colleagues.

A large room with a big screen showing the title of the talk, in front of that, two women are standing, there are many people sitting in front of the speakerd

#NordMedia25 now with a double keynote by @annettemarkham.bsky.social and @jilltxt.bsky.social on livable futures - tales from the field. The room is packed, and I love the idea of livable futures also including shared work for keynote speakers

Me and @annettemarkham.bsky.social about to give our joint keynote at #Nordmedia25
