Hi, I am the Film Studies Editor at Blackwell, and, like you, Karen, feel I would like to go ahead and attend, try to meet as many people as I can, and in general, salvage the event. I would be interested in being part of any alternative gathering(s). Thanks, Jayne Fargnoli -----Original Message----- From: Film and TV Studies Discussion List [mailto:[log in to unmask]] On Behalf Of Karen Orr Vered Sent: Wednesday, May 13, 2009 6:53 AM To: [log in to unmask] Subject: [SCREEN-L] let's meet in Tokyo as free agents Who wants to meet in Tokyo for a symposium or similar gathering? It's too late for me to untangle my complex travel plans and hoping others are in a similar position. Being from the southern hemisphere, the scheduling of SCMS does not usually suit my semester and this is the first time in many years that I've been able to attend. I was so looking forward to the conference and would like to salvage the plans. I'd like to hear from those who still plan to attend. Perhaps we can swing something. -- Karen Vered, PhD Head, Department of Screen & Media Flinders University http://ehlt.flinders.edu.au/screen 260 Humanities Bldg.
