Call to Host: MeCCSA conferences 2022 and 2023


Deadline for proposals is 31st May 2019


The Media, Communication and Cultural Studies Association (MeCCSA) is inviting proposals for the hosting and organisation of its annual conference for 2022 and 2023.

Following the highly successful MeCCSA 2019 held at Stirling, the next annual conference will be hosted in January 2020 by University of Brighton. Robert Gordon University will host in 2021.

Our annual conference is a valuable opportunity for colleagues to share current research and practice and to debate relevant policy and pedagogic issues. Our conference is also a vibrant event at which colleagues have an opportunity to network and socialise. It provides an opportunity for the host institution to organise a major annual conference that addresses the interests and creativity of MeCCSA’s community and also reflects the identity and expertise of the host university. MeCCSA’s Executive Committee remains closely associated in a supervisory and advisory capacity with the overall planning and delivery of the conference and of course retains overall responsibility for the Conference.

The Executive Committee of MeCCSA has developed a general set of guidelines for colleagues interested in proposing the organisation of such a conference. This call is the initial stage of the process whereby interested members are asked to express their interest in hosting a future conference. This expression of interest should be framed in a proposal sent to Professor Anita Biressi, Chair of MeCCSA, ([log in to unmask]), copied to Professor Agnes Gulyas, Chair of MeCCSA Activities Sub-Committee ([log in to unmask]). Any queries prior to submission should be sent to Agnes.

The proposal should include the general details outlined in the guidelines on the MeCCSA website at: http://www.meccsa.org.uk/conference/meccsa-conference-proposal-guidelines/

Deadline for proposals is 31st May 2019. All proposals will be considered at the MeCCSA Executive Committee meeting after the deadline.

We are also keen to plan for subsequent conferences and therefore happy to consider proposals for subsequent years.


The MeCCSA Executive Committee
