This event is held by the UK-China Media and Cultural Studies 
Association (UCMECSA), which aims to provide a platform for 
communication between Chinese media and culture researchers in Britain, 
and to discuss cultural difference, crossover, communication and 
diversity among Western countries and China.

This conference is intended to facilitate the opportunity for 
researchers on Chinese media and cultural studies to engage in 
cross-cultural comparison and dialogue on the core issues of Chinese 
media and cultural studies, with particular focus on media, culture, 
communication, arts and politics. We therefore invite papers that 
address areas such as the following:



·      Media and cultural comparison between the West and China

·      Chinese media and journalism studies

·      Chinese popular cultural studies

·      Chinese political studies

·      Chinese migration issues

Confirmed keynote speakers include Prof. Richard Sambrook and Dr. Paul 
Bowman.

Please submit a Word document containing your paper title, a 250-word 
abstract, and author information including full name, institutional 
affiliation, email address, and a 50-word bio by 10th January 2015. A 
maximum of 30 minutes will be allocated to each conference paper (20 
minutes for presentation and 10 minutes for questions). Panel proposals 
(three presenters – 90 minutes) should include a 150-word overview and 
250 word individual abstracts (plus author information listed above).
