Mediating the Moment - A(n Interdisciplinary) Conversation Conference in Calgary May 1st and 2nd, 2025

Category: Event

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. Our conference aims to decolonize knowledge creation and sharing and to bring a feminist ethic of inclusivity to our work. We aim to embrace the rough edges of what is considered research and who can participate in knowledge creation. To that end, there are many ways in which you can become involved in this conference. We welcome: - Visual submissions to a gallery space - Traditional paper presentations - Pre-constituted panels - Roundtable presentations - Curator-hosted short films - Research creation projects and community-based research projects.
