Beth Coleman

VIEW to the U: An eye on UTM academic community

In this episode we hear from Professor Beth Coleman, an Associate Professor in UTM’s Institute of Communication, Culture, Information and Technology and in UofT’s Faculty of Information Studies (FIS) about her research in aspects of human narrative and digital data in the engagement of global cities, including aspects of locative media/mobile media and smart cities. We also talk about weeding through all of the COVID-19 information we are bombarded with everyday, and some of the things she’s doing during this time of self-isolation - we might even have a recipe or two to share. Beth has been on faculty at ICCIT and at FIS since 2019. She has curated numerous art exhibits and media installations within North America and in Europe.
