In January 2007, the McGrn convened a 'nomad circle' called the Media Ecology Café, thus reviving the Association for Media Ecology North (AMEN), welcoming Danish PhD candidate Mogens Olesen to town, and providing a convivial weekly home for the diasporic McLuhan Program and Toronto School of Communication communites. We meet weekly, when we can, and the experiment has been wonderful.
