We are soliciting paper proposals for a three day conference on Digital/Media, Race, Affect and Labor, to be hosted by the American Culture Studies Program at Bowling Green State University.
Dr. Anna Everett, Professor of Film, Television and New Media Studies, and former Chair of the Department of Film and Media Studies at the University of California, Santa Barbara (UCSB) has agreed to be our keynote speaker. We hope this topic will elicit productive discussions and collaborations that bring together the layered and crisscrossing themes associated with media, digital worlds, labor, affect, globalization, and race.
We invite abstracts that look at mediated environments (broadly defined) in a contemporary or historical context. Prospective participants are encouraged to engage with specific conceptual relationships that connect with the theme of this conference and explore them in any available online or offline setting.
Please submit abstracts of approximately 400 words to * raceandaffect@gmail.com *no later than December 10th, 2010*. *Please be sure to include your name, paper title, institutional affiliation (if applicable), email address, A-V equipment requests, and special needs, if any.
