World in Flux: Exploring Cultural and Media Studies in a Changing World 
– Call For Papers


15 June 2018

King’s College London

Our world is ever-fluctuating, nothing is static, and these oscillations 
reflect upon Cultural and Media Studies. The confluence of research and 
its environment calls for new modes of understanding spanning cultural, 
aesthetic, socio-economic, technological, political and environmental 
concerns. Consequently, we are witnessing the development of new 
approaches and methodologies in Cultural and Media Studies. In 
navigating new fields of study, stimulating modes of research are 
emerging. The creative nature of the field invites a wide range of 
practices that are challenging the borders between art and research.


King’s College London, Department of Culture, Media and Creative 
Industries welcomes proposals for PhD Conference 2018 exploring 
possibilities for Cultural and Media Studies and how these can help us 
to understand the fluctuating world we inhabit.


Possible topics for presentations include but are not limited to:


  * Cultural and creative industries in evolution
  * Globalisation, neoliberalism and cultural research
  * Digital curation and digital archives
  * Memory and media archeology
  * Ethics and power
  * Transparency, accessibility, mobility
  * New terminologies
  * The future of methodologies for Cultural and Media Studies
  * Arts-based, arts-informed and practice-based research
  * Auto-ethnography

We welcome paper proposals as well as alternative modes of presentation 
such as video essays, performances, creative practice etc.
