This is an excellent opportunity for postgraduate students working in the areas of Film, Media, New Media, Culture and Communications studies to present their work to likeminded individuals in a supportive and productive environment. The conference will also include workshops from expert academics on contemporary topics such as publishing, teaching, the RAE, and other issues pertinent to postgraduate students working in the highly political and controversial arena that is the University today. The last two conferences held in Birmingham (2004) and Cardiff (2005) were a great success, with keynote speakers such as Peter Golding, Sue Thornham, Terry Threadgold, Maire Messenger-Davis, Ernest Mathijis, Justin Lewis and Greg Philo. The issues discussed centred on the political and academic concerns of postgraduate students, and included issues such as publishing, teaching and researching. This conference promises to be equally successful with speakers such as Martin McLoone, Sarah Edge, Sue Thornham and Mark Jancovich (to be confirmed) Travel in Northern Ireland will be arranged. We will pick students up at 10.30-11am on Thursday morning from Belfast International and City airports and return them to the airports for 6pm on the Friday for flights back.
