| MeCCSA Postgraduate Network: Second Annual Forum |
|
23 – 24 June 2005
Cardiff School of Journalism Building on the success of the conference held last September in Birmingham, the MeCCSA PGN held its second national two day forum for postgraduate students. The forum debated contemporary issues in doctoral research, such as publishing, teaching, learning and employment issues, with lively debates and discussions with speakers as Professor Bob Franklin (Cardiff University), Professor Justin Lewis (Cardiff University), Dr Ernest Mathijs (University of Aberystwyth) and Professor Maire Messenger Davies (University of Ulster). The forum provided an opportunity for postgraduate students to present their own research, share their experiences, and gain feedback from other postgraduate students within the field of media, communication and cultural studies in an informal and supportive environment. The conference was free to attend, and pre and post social events were organised for postgraduate students to maximise their networking time. |
