Are demands for more media, more speech, and more publicity the best response to every question or controversy? Toby Miller (Media & Cultural Studies, University of California, Riverside) points to some of the limitations of this assumption, especially with regard to how cultural citizenship has been theorized and applied in cultural studies and media studies.

Miller's recent books include Cultural Policy, co-authored with George Yúdice (2002); Cultural Citizenship: Cosmopolitanism, Consumerism, and Television in a Neoliberal Age (2006); and Makeover Nation: The United States of Reinvention (2008).

This lecture marks the launch of the Master of Arts in Cultural Studies (MACS) program at the Bothell campus of the University of Washington. MACS links the interdisciplinary study of art and culture to project-based learning embedded in a diverse network of community organizations and partnerships.

Free and open to the public.
