I'm from Learning on Screen (British Universities & Colleges Film and Video Council). 

Our termly magazine, ViewFinder is now open for submission:

We are inviting Academics and Research Students to send pitches and proposals to ViewFinder Magazine. We are looking for essays and articles on: film, television, radio, education, research projects involving the moving image, plus book and DVD reviews. Issue themes are highlighted below, but members of Black British Studies might be particularly interested in the Decolonisation, Migration, Class and Masculinity issues. 

Submissions and proposals must aim to fit into these themes, but not exclusively so (see below). 

ViewFinder is the specialist magazine for Learning On Screen: The British Universities and Colleges Film and Video Council, dedicated to exploring the moving image and education. 

ViewFinder is designed to be accessible across academic disciplines and for public readership as well as academia, it has now moved fully online for 2019 and beyond. An article in Viewfinder is a chance to synthesise and summarise your project work and to offer think pieces and provocations that enrich the public conversation. 

Articles from 800-2000 words (this is flexible however) and written with accessible language and for a wide, crossover audience. 

Please send proposals to Kit at Learning On Screen:

1) Masculinity – March 2019

Exploring representations of gender, masculinity, male and female behaviour on film, television, radio and in education. From old patriarchy in the industry, to new forms of masculinity in the millennium, this issue aims to spotlight one of the pressing identity issues of today. 


2) Migration / Borders – June 2019

Writings on the issue of the 2010s. How is migration, refugees, border control and ‘free movement’ tackled in the News and other visual media. What can we learn from past films and television? What research projects are out there right now exploring this subject?


3) Class – October 2019

The British topic that will never go away. At a time when inequality is on the rise, meritocracy in question and with precarity a fundamental structure of modern employment, class must be discussed. Using film, television and radio, we invite you to submit articles on the representation, analysis and understanding of class in the media.


4) Decolonisation – February 2020

Questions of decolonising university curriculums, changing the way we teach, disrupting the canon and modernising education are all challenges to current hegemony. But what significance does decolonisation and representation have in educational audiovisual material and the media beyond the classroom. Essays on African and Asian (and diaspora) film and TV greatly encouraged. 


5) Home – June 2020

How has concepts of the domestic shifted over time? What does ‘home’ mean? How is education, film, television, radio addressing the changes in our domestic environments. From Alexa to home schooling, bedroom taxes to distance learning, the Home issue, will explore the representation of the domestic in film, television and the impact of it in education.

Thanks!
