Call for Papers and Presentations
We invite students to submit proposals for papers and presentations for the South Asian Media and Cultural Studies Conference, to be held on January 21-23, 2016, at the Center for Global and Multicultural Engagement at Florida State University, Tallahassee, Florida.
Graduate and undergraduate students from any university or college are invited to submit abstracts of research papers, work in progress, and service projects dealing with South Asia for presentation at the South Asian Media and Cultural Studies Conference 2016. This region attracts much attention, both for its history and culture, but also for the significance of contemporary cultural, political, and economic developments. We invite submissions from students from all disciplines. These might include work on media studies, culture, religion, education, politics, economics, and social issues, and anthropology, to name a few. We are interested in research papers and projects, video and artistic representations, as well as reports on service initiatives and work in progress.
The conference will begin with an “Engage Your World” public event on Thursday evening, January 21, 2016, at the Center for Global and Multicultural Engagement, Florida State University. The main student conference will run from 9:00 am 5:00 pm on Friday, January 22, 2016, also at the CGE, and include lunch and coffee breaks. We are also planning an invited faculty research workshop on Saturday, January 23. We plan to share materials from the presentations prior to and after the conference. There is no registration cost, but we invite both presenters and attendees to register online at the link: https://comm.cci.fsu.edu/research/south-asian-media-and-cultural-studies-conference/
Proposals should include your name, university email, affiliation, degree program, project title, and short outline or abstract of your proposed presentation. Please submit your proposal by November 23, 2015 for consideration on the page: https://comm.cci.fsu.edu/research/south-asian-media-and-cultural-studies-conference/
