[acc-cca-l] [CFP] Deadline extended to March 2: UCalgary CMF Interdisciplinary Graduate Conference

[Nikki Reimer]

Dear colleagues,

Please consider forwarding to your graduate students.

**Deadline extended to March 2**

The University of Calgary Communication Media and Film Graduate Conference organizing committee invites proposals to a multidisciplinary conference.

Mediating the Moment: A(n Interdisciplinary) Conversation
Our strength in the humanities is found in our ability to work and learn together to solve our big, wicked, and messy social problems. Our goal is to gather together and hold interdisciplinary conversations that unite rather than divide on research areas loosely related to communications. Our conference aims to decolonize knowledge creation and sharing and to bring a feminist ethic of inclusivity to our work. We welcome visual submissions, traditional paper presentations, research-creation projects, community-based research projects and curator-hosted short films.

Volunteer opportunities are available for graduate students.
Multiple ways to share knowledge
We aim to embrace the rough edges of what is considered research and who can participate in knowledge creation.

In keeping with a theme of interdisciplinarity, we intend for you to find yourself in conversation with folks from different disciplines than your own. In seeking to bring disparate research areas together in conversation, we have made our theme as broad as possible as we want you to see yourself at this conference. Your research might be situated within the realm of, but is not limited to:


  *
Narrative and storytelling in media culture, including genre studies
  *
Mediated meaning making
  *
Mediated community, society, and culture – broadly
  *
Embodiment, identity, and subjectivities in media
  *
Representations of class, sex, gender, race/ethnicity, age, and ability in media
  *
Mediated power, social movements, and activism
  *
Cinema, Podcast, Porn, Photography, Video Game, Cultural, Legacy, and Digital Studies
  *
This list is only suggestive as we welcome research from any discipline that engages with film, media, and communications.


Location: The University of Calgary, AB (in-person)
Date: May 1 and 2, 2025
Cost: Your travel, accommodation, transportation, breakfast, and evening meals. The conference itself is free to attend.
Included: Coffee/tea/water and lunch both days.
Open to: All active graduate students and undergraduate honours students considering graduate school.

EXTENDED! Deadline for submissions: end of day, Sunday, March 2, 2025.
