Dear MeCCSA PGN subscribers,
This is just a quick message to say that the main MeCCSA Conference
which is running from Wed 9th - Fri 11th January at Cardiff University
looks to be a great event and perfect for postgraduates (especially
since the conference fee is £120 rather than £250 for postgrads!)
Some of the speakers at the event include George Monbiot (Guardian
columnist and environmental activist), Toby Miller (University of
California, Riverside), Greg Philo (Glasgow University), Annabelle
Sreberny (SOAS), Martin Barker (Aberystwyth), Georgina Born
(Cambridge), Nick Couldry (Goldsmiths), Ian Hargreaves (OFCOM), Sonia
Livingstone (LSE), Angela McRobbie (Goldsmiths), Jackie Stacey
(Lancaster), Richard Tait (BBC Trust), Keith Tester (Portsmouth) and
Valerie Walkerdine (Cardiff).
The conference fee also includes a wine reception in the Wales
Assembly Building (the Senedd) and evening meal in the nearby
Millennium Centre so the event will be a great opportunity to schmooze
with the great and the good if you are so inclined...
