Author Biography

Joshua Synenko, Trent University

Joshua Synenko is Assistant Professor of Media and Culture in the Department of Cultural Studies, Trent University, and Director of the Cultural Studies Graduate Programs. He is Co-Editor of Media Theory, an independent (scholar-led), online and (libre) open access journal of peer-reviewed, theoretical interventions into all aspects of media and communications. He also serves on the Advisory Board of the Canadian Association of Cultural Studies (CACS), and on the Executive Board of the Canadian Comparative Literature Association (CCLA). Synenko’s research is situated between media and geography. His published work explores relationships between cities and mobility (migration, displacement, settlement), cinema and geography, and on exchanges between practice-based research and artistic research. He is currently writing a monograph, Locative Art Revisited: Experimental Technologies for Social Engagement, under contract with Concordia University Press.
