The Media, Communications and Cultural Studies Association Postgraduate
Network (MeCCSA-PGN) invites submission of abstracts for its 10th Annual
Postgraduate Conference to be held on the 2nd-3rd July 2013 at the
University of East Anglia (Norwich). The conference is hosted by the School
of Film, Television and Media Studies
(FTM)<http://www.uea.ac.uk/film-television-media>in collaboration with
other schools across the Faculty
of Arts and Humanities <http://www.uea.ac.uk/hum>,
media@uea<http://media.uea.ac.uk/>,
and the East Anglian Film Archive
<http://www.eafa.org.uk/><http://www.eafa.org.uk/>
.
MeCCSA is the subject association for the field of media, communication and
cultural studies in UK Higher Education. This interdisciplinary
conferenceinvites Masters and PhD students, as well as early stage
postdoctoral
researchers, to share their work on any topic relating to film and
television, journalism, radio, photography, creative writing, cultural
studies, publishing, interactive media, the web and related areas.
Proposals from other disciplines that engage with media, communication or
cultural practices are also welcome.
The conference coincides with the 50th
Anniversary<http://www.uea.ac.uk/50years>of the University of East
Anglia and embraces the heritage built upon the
university’s founding principal of ‘Do Different’. To reflect this ethos,
we are looking for a diverse range of presentation styles for submission.
This can include formal papers (up to 20 minutes in length), posters,
performances, practice research (such as films or multimedia), as well as
shorter “lightning talk” papers (up to 7 minutes in length with a limited
number of accompanying slides) and “speed geeking” (quick fire ideas with
small group discussions). Panel proposals are also welcome with up to four
presentations. The aim is to offer multiple platforms where postgraduates
can present their research in alternative and engaging formats. Multiple
submissions in different presentation formats will also be considered.
Abstracts of 50 – 100 words (for shorter presentations) and up to 200 words
(for longer papers) should be sent no later than 15th March 2013 to

Please include with your abstract:
• Format of presentation (e.g. 20 minute paper, performance, multimedia,
“lightning talk”, “speed geeking” discussion)
• Your name, contact details, institutional affiliation and year of study;
• Title and topic of research, including method(s) used;
• Up to five keywords, which will help the reviewers classify your
proposal;
• Technical requirements for the presentation;
• An indication of whether you also plan to submit a full-length article
for the MeCCSA-PGN journal, Networking Knowledge.
For panels, we require a short description and rationale (up to 100 words),
in addition to the abstracts for each of the papers (200 words each).
Forproposals involving practice research, please ensure that you send
preview
material (up to 5 minutes) with the abstract.
The conference will have a special emphasis on postgraduate training, and
we plan to offer a diverse and extensive programme of workshops and
seminars. We are now in the process of organising these, and would like to
hear what sessions would be most useful to MeCCSA PGN members. Any
suggestions can be posted in the conference Facebook
