Please distribute widely...
Hi everyone,
A few important notes and announcements concerning the annual conference:
1: The submission deadline for the CCA 2010 annual conference has been extended from Jan. 15 to Feb. 1. -the original CFP has been appended as a PDF file. Feel free to distribute the cfp to any and all relevant lists (but please mention the change in the deadline if you do so). -"thanks" to all who have submitted thus far. -for those who have encountered the odd technical glitch, please be patient as we work through our 'tech-help' list.
2: Confirmed speakers I am delighted to report that we have lined up the following speakers for the conference (topics and date/time info will be made available as the conf. schedule takes shape):
Lisa Gitelman, NYU, Dept. of Media, Culture, and Communication & Dept. of English
Toby Miller, U of California Riverside, Depts of English, Sociology, & Women's Studies; Director of Film and Visual Culture Program
In addition to the speakers, we will have a special roundtable [Media Revolution Connectivity] hosted by Le Devoir marking their 100th anniversary. Participants will be announced once the panel is finalized.
3: Workshops The CCA is working on, and invites participation in, 2 events outside of our official conference dates [June 1-3]. Both of these workshops will likely be held at McGill University. Please note that these events are in the early planning stages and that the dates and details are subject to change. More detailed information concerning these events is forthcoming and will be posted to the CCA listserv and on the conference website as soon as is possible
-A day-long paid limited enrolment workshop (May 31, limited enrolment) with Catherine Orenstein, founder and director of the OpEd Project [http://www.theopedproject.org/]. Interested participants may contact Dr. Philip Savage [savagep@mcmaster.ca].
-A 2 day international open workshop (May 26-27 - tentative) by the Global Internet Governance Academic Network (GigaNet). The Giganet workshop is held annually in different countries and the CCA is pleased to help host the workshop in Montréal this year. More details are included in the appended document ["giganet-workshops" - MS Word format].
Finally, Concordia's Comm Dept. is working hard on making the reception for the CCA's 30th anniversary memorable and, from the looks of things, this year's conference should rather exciting. Thanks to all involved for their work thus far (and the work yet to be done...).
