Date and Time: Thursday, February 6, 2014, 12:00pm - 2:00pm

Location: GH424

Academic Services invites all staff, instructors, students and guests to attend the Winter 2014 University of Guelph-Humber Feature Lecture. The Feature Lecture, titled ���Your Kind of Place: Branding in Children�۪s Culture," will be presented by Media Studies instructor, Greg Kelley, PhD.

Children�۪s folklore draws a wealth of material from commercial culture, and popular advertisements are frequently adapted and satirized on the playground. The lecture will survey some salient examples, focusing on a few remarkable cases of folk parodies of commercials that have outlasted by decades the advertising campaigns that initially inspired them. With these, we can begin to formulate a theoretical framework regarding the ways in which children ���perform subversion�۝ in their lore and undermine the power of corporate branding.

Please join us on Thursday, February 6, 2014 from 12:00pm to 2:00pm in GH424 for Greg Kelley's lecture, ���Your Kind of Place: Branding in Children�۪s Culture." 

Registration is very limited. Please RSVP to academicservices@guelphhumber.ca

Lunch will be provided. We look forward to seeing you there!
