Call for papers
Deadline: 19 September 2008
MeCCSA is the UK subject association for those teaching and researching in
Media, Communication and Cultural Studies. The organisation holds its next
conference from 14-16 January 2009, hosted by the School of Informatics, University of
Bradford and held at The National Media Museum. It includes a reception and
conference dinner at the museum in central Bradford.
We are inviting papers, presentations of practice, posters and panels across
the range of interests represented by MeCCSA and its networks. Some sessions we hope will weave together 'practice'
and 'research' focused papers, and there will be separate screenings in full
of material referred to in these. Proposals for papers and panels are
welcome in all areas of media, communication and cultural studies. As MeCCSA
joined with AMPE (the Association of Media Practitioners in Education) in
2006 practice-based proposals are also very welcome.
Poster competition
There will be a poster competition with a prize of £100, to be judged by
members of the MeCCSA Executive Committee. The academic poster is highly
valued by MeCCSA as an indicator of current research and there will be a
good space set aside at the 2009 conference for this activity.
Best Paper competition
The Art Design Media - Higher Education Academy Subject Centre (ADM-HEA) are
also offering a £500 prize, and publication, for the best paper analysing
key issues impacting on media, communications and cultural studies in higher
education. Submission details as for other papers etc. below.
Submission
Abstracts of papers, presentations of practice and posters, no longer than
250 words, should be sent to meccsa@bradford.ac.uk by 19 September 2008 in order
for peer review to take place.
For panels, let us have a short description and rationale for the whole (200
words), abstracts for each of the papers (250 words each) and the name of
the person chairing. For practice proposals make sure you send DVD or VHS
preview material (not the whole item) with the abstract.
