Dear colleagues,

The Carsey-Wolf Center at UC Santa Barbara is pleased to announce a new and exciting research initiative, Media Industries and AI: Critical Research on Emerging Trends, led by Professors Jennifer Holt, Ross Melnick, and Lisa Parks. This initiative invites innovative proposals examining how artificial intelligence tools are reshaping the media industries, from production and creative labor to distribution and audience engagement.

Selected researchers will be invited to participate in two research presentations: a preliminary gathering in Spring 2026 and a final presentation in Fall 2027. Funding for projects will be in the $5,000–$15,000 range per project. Proposals are due September 15, 2025.

We encourage you to share and circulate this CFP with colleagues and networks who may be interested in applying. Full details, including application instructions, required materials, and budget guidelines are included in the attached CFP. The submission form link can be accessed here: https://forms.gle/3rnuJbL332QJdh4x5

We look forward to your submissions!
