invites proposals for presentations on any subject related to film, 
media and philosophy. *We especially encourage proposals from LGBTQI, 
feminist and BME scholars*. There is no single overall theme. As with 
last year, we are using a “track” system that will provide a number of 
broad headings to which a presenter may wish to attach their submission. 
There is, of course, an Open track if you feel that your paper does not 
fit within any of the other tracks.
*Please note that this conference will be carer/parent & child friendly 
and will have open access onsite child care facilities (the cost of 
which is levied and shared through the conference fee of every 
participant).*
