This event will provide a space to explore the relationship between the disciplines of
English and Media Studies in terms of: programme design and content; teaching
methodologies; and the place of theory in the syllabus. It is of interest to those who teach
on further and higher education programmes which offer any kind of combination of the
two subjects, English and Media Studies.
The QAA Benchmarking Statement for English now acknowledges the teaching of literary
texts together with other media and 'cultural forms' and it explicitly acknowledges
Cultural Studies-based programmes as an important sector of English provision. In the
light of this, it is an important time to review the history of the relationship between
English and Media Studies and to think about the future direction of that relationship. In
addition, the current technological landscape promises to change the concept of the
literary text itself and the boundaries between the two subjects are surely set to blur
even further.
