Dear colleagues,
With further apologies for cross-posting.
Yesterday I distributed the CFP, below, failing to realise that, about 20 minutes beforehand, the organisers of Doing Women’s Film and Television History circulated the CFP for their amazing conference
– and the dates clash.
To this end, I’ve taken the decision to push the
Re-thinking Histories of Popular British Film and Television conference back a couple of weeks.
It will now take place 27-28 June 2023. So, please ignore the earlier call, and find the updated one below. Sorry for any inconvenience.
Please direct queries to me: [log in to unmask]
Best wishes,
Johnny
