MeCCSA 5th Annual Conference

The committee discussed the forthcoming conference to be held at Sussex University on 19 – 21 December. Keynote speakers include Professor Eliizabeth Grosz, Rutgers University, USA; Dr Jostein Gripsrud, University of Bergen, Norway and Ian Diamond, Chief Executive, ESRC, UK. It was agreed that the Network should maintain its participation at the conference particularly through the Showcasing Women stall which aims to promote recent publications and upcoming conferences or workshops by Network members. Margaret Montgomerie has continued her responsibility for this and is hoping to also show female media practitioners’ work at the event – so if anyone is interested in showcasing their work contact her through the Network Administrator Ann Butler as soon as possible. WMSN would also like to convene a panel on the theme of ‘Gender and media futures’.
