I would like to propose a panel for next year's Society for Cinema and Media Studies conference on "New Directions in Girls' Media Studies," and am looking for a few more participants due to some last minute cancellations. My idea for the panel is that papers would expand the field of girls' media studies by addressing either girls' media texts which have received little scholarly attention (especially historical texts), or utilize approaches not dominant within girls' media studies (e.g., reception studies, industrial studies, transnational studies). I'm open to other ideas for the panel, however. Those interested in proposing a paper for this panel should contact me directly at [log in to unmask] no later than Friday, September 10, 2005. Please note that paper proposals require the completion of the SCMS Standard Abstract Form (click on the "open call" link), as well as a brief proposal, bibiliography, and biography. The form is available at the SCMS website at: http://www.cmstudies.org/abstract_forms.html. Other information about the conference and SCMS membership can be accessed via the website also: http://www.cmstudies.org.
