Call for papers – Meccsa’s 2nd Postgraduate conference
WHEN? 23 and 24 June, 2005
WHERE? Cardiff School of Journalism, Media and Cultural Studies, Cardiff
University.
COST? None. The conference is free to attend. Cheap accommodation and a
social event have been arranged.
Building on the success of the conference held last September in
Birmingham, the network is pleased to announce it is organising a second
national two day forum for postgraduate students. The forum aims to debate
contemporary issues in doctoral research, such as publishing, teaching,
learning and employment issues. There promises to be lively debates and
discussions with confirmed speakers including Professor Justin Lewis
(Cardiff University), Dr Ernest Mathijs (University of Aberystwyth),
Professor Bob Franklin (Sheffield University) and Professor Greg Philo
(Glasgow University).
The forum will also provide 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 is free to attend, and pre and post social events will be
organised for postgraduate students to maximise their networking time.
If you are interested in either submitting a paper or attending the event,
we welcome 250 word abstracts from postgraduate students on the topic of
their research and/or the methodology/ies they are employing by no later
than May 20 2005. Abstracts should be sent to Stephen Cushion at
