Five key professors from Taru, Tampere University Research Centre for Communication Sciences, are celebrating their milestone birthdays this year! We have invited them to participate in a celebratory panel on Taru’s Day.

Panelists:

Pauliina Hulkko
Pekka Isotalus
Frans Mäyrä
Kaarina Nikunen
Tarja Rautiainen-Keskustalo

Moderators: Laura Ahva & Mikko Hautakangas

The panelists will discuss their views and experiences on their respective fields – performing arts, communication studies, game studies, media studies and sound studies. How have each of these fields developed during the professors’ careers? How do they contribute to the broader discipline of communication sciences that we now share?

The event is open to all members of the research centre, as well as anyone interested in looking at communication sciences through the work of these professors, and to congratulate them. After the panel, coffee and cake will be served, and hence registration is required by March 5. The event is on-site only. 

Welcome!
