DESCRIPTION:Voicing the Grassroots: Media and Popular Protests in China Ins
 tead of asking questions like whether or not protests in China are effecti
 ve or if the media can express the voice of the grassroots\, this research
  tries to explore the sophisticated interaction between the media\, rising
  popular contention and political control in a post-totalitarian state. We
  will look at questions such as the following: What is the role of the med
 ia in popular contention? What are the media strategies and discourses of 
 the protesters? How can the media increase their ability to organize thems
 elves and mobilize public engagement under strict surveillance? Why do som
 e media agendas ultimately find their way into government policy deliberat
 ion? Zeng Fanxu is an associate professor in the Journalism Department of 
 Sun Yat-Sen University (Zhongshan University) and current visiting scholar
  at the Harvard-Yenching Institute. His research concentrates on media and
  grassroots politics in China\, especially NGO media strategy and civil so
 ciety development\, media and popular contentions\, as well as media and p
 ublic policy change. Prior to being a scholar\, Dr. Zeng was a journalist 
 in Nanfang Media Group for several years.
