International Conference
Media Industries
16-19 April 2024
Hosted by the Department of Culture, Media and Creative Industries, King’s College London
Paper, panel, and roundtable proposals are invited for the 2024 ‘Media Industries’ conference (‘MI2024’).
‘MI2024’ provides a meeting ground for all forms of media industries research, maintaining an open intellectual agenda by inviting papers, panels or roundtables exploring the full breadth of media industries in contemporary, historical and global contexts, and from all traditions of media industries scholarship.
After the success in 2018 of the inaugural conference ‘Media Industries: Current Debates and Future Directions’, unfortunately the planned 2020 conference had to be cancelled due to Covid. We are therefore very pleased to announce the return of the conference next year.
Submissions (see below) are welcomed in three categories (see full details below):
· open call papers
· pre-constituted panels
· pre-constituted roundtables
*PLEASE NOTE*: MI2024 will take place in-person only.
SUBMISSIONS
Deadline for submissions is 23.00hrs Pacific Daylight Time (PDT = UTC -7) on Friday 15 September 2023
Proposals are welcomed in three categories and should be submitted through the following links.
1) Open Call Papers
Format: solo or co-presented research paper lasting no more than 20mins.
2) Pre-constituted Panels
Format: 90mins panel of 3 x 20mins OR 4 x 15mins thematically linked solo or co-
presented research papers followed by questions.
Delegates can make TWO contributions to the conference but only ONE in any category, i.e., presenting an open call paper and participating in a roundtable will be permitted but presenting two open call papers will not be. Chairing a panel or roundtable will NOT count as one of those contributions.
