[ecrea] Cult Media Studies

> Dear all,
>
> I'm pleased to announce the public launch of Cult Media Studies, an online
> networking hub for students and academics studying cult film, television, and
> other media, set up by David Church. As online fan communities continue to
> thrive, likewise grows the need for a more cohesive global community among
> those whose professional research interests actively span both fannish and
> academic quarters. As such, we are currently seeking new members with an
> interest in this area of research, and hope to have the website grow and
> evolve to fit its members' needs over the coming months. The site is still a
> work in progress, so any suggestions for new content or features are greatly
> appreciated.
>
> The site's centerpiece is a discussion forum for conversing about cult media
> studies and the objects of its analysis. Announcements of events, new
> releases, and calls for papers are welcomed. Important events (conferences,
> festivals, etc.) can be posted on the main page. 
> There is also a section of the
> site for uploading or embedding videos as visual aids or potential objects of
> interest for other members. Members may also post blogs, photos, comments,
> or other content on their personal pages.
>
> The site's advisory board includes the following scholars:
>
> Kate Egan, University of Aberystwyth
> Matt Hills, Cardiff University
> I.Q. Hunter, De Montfort University
> Barbara Klinger, Indiana University
> Ernest Mathijs, University of British Columbia
> Eric Schaefer, Emerson College
> Jamie Sexton, University of Aberystwyth
>
> Should you be interested in visiting or signing 
> up, the site can be found here:

> All the best,
> Jamie Sexton
