Colleagues,
We have decided to extend the deadline for submissions for the 2009 MeCCSA
Conference.
This is because there were problems with the MeCCSA website last week and
some colleagues may have been disadvantaged.
The new deadline is FRIDAY 3rd OCTOBER.
Any submissions sent 'late' (i.e. after the 19th deadline) clearly then have
been accepted.
Thanks to all those who have submitted so far.
Details below, as before...
Best wishes,
Mark Goodall

Subject: REMINDER- MeCCSA Conference 2009- Call For Papers (19th September
deadline)
Colleagues,
A reminder of the looming deadline for your proposals:
MeCCSA 2009 Conference: Call For Papers
19 September Deadline
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
(http://www.nationalmediamuseum.org.uk). 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 the Association and its networks (see
www.MeCCSA.org.uk ). 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.
Speakers include:
Andy Burnham MP (Culture Secretary) (TBC)
Shearer West (AHRC Research Director)
Laura Mulvey (Birkbeck University of London)
Diane Negra (University of East Anglia)
Shaun Moores (University of Sunderland)
Dominique Pasquier (EHESS, Paris).
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.
For a definition of a poster see here: http://tinyurl.com/5buprz
An online tutorial on how to design a poster is available

Competition for Best Paper
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.
Abstracts of papers, presentations of practice and posters, no longer than
250
words, should be sent to [log in to unmask] by 19 September 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.
