A podcast about how media and cultural studies can shape more just media futures from the Media Futures Hub at UNSW Sydney and @MediaFuturesHub on Twitter.
On this episode of the Media Futures Podcast, we hear from Dr Danielle Hynes (Maynooth) and Dr Kevin Witzenberger (QUT), two postdoctoral researchers who recently completed their PhDs in the Media Futures Hub at the University of New South Wales, as they share tips and strategies from their experiences of moving from PhD to Postdoc. Recent years have seen a move from approaching the PhD experience as aimed primarily at the production of a thesis, to the more expansive aim of cultivating a researcher. Amid this changing academic landscape, this discussion addresses a series of increasing relevant questions: How can HDRs best position themselves for postdoctoral opportunities beyond the thesis? What is the contribution and value of research networks in the development of researchers? How can HDRs find Postdoc opportunities and then position themselves as the best candidate? This conversation was recorded at the From PhD to PostDoc workshop at the University of New South Wales in October 2024, hosted by the UNSW Data Justice Research Network and the UNSW Media Futures Hub. This episode was produced by Mitchell Price and Tanja Dreher.

On this fourth and final episode we hear from Professor Anamik Saha (Leeds) on the crisis of diversity.

The series was recorded at the Beyond Media Diversity Symposium at the University of New South Wales in June 2024, hosted by the Media Futures Hub at the School of the Arts and Media.

‘Abolition Futures' is a standalone podcast episode made by Andrew Brooks, Liam Grealy, and Astrid Lorange, co-facilitators of the Infrastructural Inequalities research network. Infrastructural Inequalities examines the unjust distribution of resources, amenities, and opportunities that shape our society and asks how we might intervene in the reproduction of inequality. Together, we produce exhibitions, public programs, workshops, and edit the Infrastructural Inequalities journal. In 2021, the journal published a special issue called ‘Policing, Crisis, Abolition', which sought to investigate how crisis, policing, and infrastructure are bound to one another: the essays and interviews collectively ask how an abolitionist approach to infrastructure might move us toward a world where the needs of all are met. Following the publication of the special issue, Infrastructural Inequalities presented a live, online public program – Resistant Media and Abolitionist Futures – co-hosted by the Media Futures Hub at UNSW in May 2021. This podcast draws from the program's discussions, and features Tabitha Lean, Renee “Rocket” Bretherton, Debbie Kilroy, Dr Amanda Porter, and Alison Whittaker. It was edited and mixed by Andrew Brooks. Original music by Motion and Té. Writing and other resources on abolition, including by our guests, are available at Infrastructural Inequalities: https://infrastructuralinequalities.net.

This episode features Justine Lloyd (Macquarie), Cate Thill (Notre Dame) and Tanja Dreher (UNSW) on the key achievements and future directions for research on the ethics, practices and politics of listening, and marks 10 years since The Listening Project (2008 – 2010), funded by the Australian Research Council’s Cultural Research Network and co-convened by Tanja Dreher, Justine Lloyd, Penny O’Donnell and Cate Thill. Speakers reflect on the turn to listening as making important contributions to political equality in the face of established hierarches of attention. It has generated new insights about how to foster democratic participation across a wide range of fields, including media and cultural studies, disability studies, political theory, sociology, science and technology studies – highlighting interests in listening and settler colonialism, critical theories of listening, technologies of listening and listening and the politics of difference. The panel will also points to future directions, or the challenges and opportunities for listening-oriented research in Australia and emerging international networks. The Politics of Listening is a series of four podcasts from the Media Futures Hub inspired by the recent ‘turn to listening’ in media studies, cultural studies and political theory. The series was recorded at The Politics of Listening 2018 conference at the University of New South Wales. This interdisciplinary conference brought together scholars, artist-researchers and cultural practitioners from Australia, Canada, New Zealand, the UK, South Africa and beyond whose work engages with listening in various ways: as a political practice; as a critical frame; as an alternative politics; as a contribution to justice and/or as an ethics of relation. It was the first international academic conference on critical studies of listening.

In this episode, Leah Bassel considers fleeting moments of political equality that become possible when listening is practiced as a form of solidarity. Such moments can coalesce around the ‘refugee crisis’, anti-austerity activism by and with women of colour across Europe, and in migrant justice movements which centre Indigenous sovereignties.
