MeCCSA 2010 Conference
Wednesday 6th - Friday 8th January 2010
MeCCSA is the UK subject association for those teaching and researching in
Media, Communication and Cultural Studies. The organisation holds its next
conference from 6th -8th January 2010, hosted by the Department of Media
and Communications, London School of Economics and Political Science and
held at LSE.
Call for Abstracts
We invite papers, panels, presentations of practice and posters across the
range of interests represented by the Association and its networks
(www.MeCCSA.org.uk). Some sessions will weave together ‘practice’
and ‘research’ and there will be separate screenings, in full, of this material.
Please submit online http://www.lse.ac.uk/collections/media@lse/MeCCSA/ by
18th September 2009.
Poster Competition
The MeCCSA Executive Committee is offering a poster competition prize of
£100. 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 2010
conference for this activity.

The Art Design Media - Higher Education Academy Subject Centre (ADM-HEA)
is offering a £500 prize and publication for the best paper analysing key issues
