We are delighted to announce the full programme for the Journal of Media
Practice and MeCCSA Practice Network Annual Symposium 2017, taking place at
Bath Spa University on Thursday 8th June 2017 and hosted by the Media
Convergence Research Centre. This year's symposium will explore the theme
of ‘Practice and/as Media Industry Research’. Registration is now open.

While the study of media industries itself indicates a bridging between
theory and practice – between the study of media forms and the pragmatics
of media making – far less attention has been paid to what the study of
media industries looks like as practice-based or practice-led research, or
how collaboration between academia and the media industries actively shapes
practice.

As such, the symposium will feature keynote lectures by Prof Kerstin
Stutterheim (Bournemouth University), John Mateer (University of York) and
Prof Bambo Soyinka (Bath Spa University) on questions of practice and/as
media industry research. The day will feature a series of workshops about
practices of Documentary Ethics, the ‘New Media Professor’, and Information
Game Narratives, as well as panels devoted to Screen Cultures &
Collaborative Practices, Digital & Media Art Practices, Film & Documentary
Practices, and Media Education Practices. We will also showcase the winner
of our MediaWall competition, which sought to attract screen-based artworks
that creatively examine and interrogate questions related to the workings
of the media industries.
