[ecrea] CFP: Connected Viewing Initiative Year 3

CFP: Connected Viewing – Research on Emerging Trends

Project Dates: August 2014 - June 2015

The Media Industries Project (MIP) at the Carsey-Wolf Center at UC Santa 
Barbara (http://www.carseywolf.ucsb.edu/mip), in collaboration with 
Warner Bros., is assembling a small team of researchers for the third 
year of our “Connected Viewing” initiative. We are examining emerging 
trends in digital distribution and multi-screen exhibition as well as 
new forms of audience activity and engagement, and their cultural 
implications.

We encourage proposals to study these issues from various perspectives 
and methodologies, but are especially receptive to research questions 
that focus on connected viewing in relation to:

** International markets, particularly India, Russia, Southeast Asia, 
and Latin America
** Multichannel Networks (MCNs) e.g., AwesomenessTV, Machinima
** Digital gaming
** Social media
** Big data
** Digital distribution trends and technologies
** College student media practices

Funding for projects will likely be in the $5,000-$10,000 range. We will 
finalize the team by September 2014.

All participants must be able to attend two research workshops and 
presentations in Southern California – one in late October/early 
November 2014 and the other in May/June 2015. Funding will be available 
for principal researcher’s travel.

Please submit a 500-word project proposal and budget, along with a CV 
and letter of application by August 31, 2014. Send completed 
applications and direct all inquiries to Dr. Karen Petruska at: 
(petruska /at/ carseywolf.ucsb.edu).
