Disney at 100 Years: Everlasting Entertainment and a Spellbinding Future
26th, 27th, 28th, 29th June 2023
An international, multi-billion dollar media conglomerate, the Walt Disney Company has been in our lives since 1923. From Disney’s humble beginnings to its current transmedia success, the academic exploration of the Walt Disney Company’s business, films, products, theme parks, shows, streaming platform, and other consumer experiences has come to the fore in recent years through the creation of Disney Studies. To celebrate the 100-year anniversary of the Walt Disney Company and the first year of our own Disney, Culture & Society Research Network, we want to reflect on the past, present, and future of conversations around Disney Studies in our first annual conference.
We are aware of the current state of the world with the Covid-19 pandemic, the financial precarity of scholars, and the environmental harm and the difficulties of procuring visas for international travel. We want to make this conference as accessible to as many different Disney scholars as possible, so this will be a free online conference.
For the Disney, Culture and Society Research Network, Disney Studies spans a range of interdisciplinary fields and topics. If you are researching elements of the Walt Disney Company in its wide range of capacities, we want to hear from you. We invite abstract submissions on a diverse range of Disney Studies topics as represented by our Network, including but not limited to:
Disney History
Disney Industry
Disney Music
Disney Animation
