[Commlist] CFP: Horror, Cult and Exploitation Media 3

*Call for Presentations: Horror, Cult and Exploitation Media III: *

*A Research Workshop for PhDs and Early Career Researchers*

*Friday 3 May 2019, Northumbria University, Newcastle Upon Tyne, UK *

PhD students and Early Career Researchers working in the field(s) of 
“horror, cult and exploitation” screen media, are invited to submit 
abstracts about their research to deliver at a workshop at Northumbria 
University on Friday 3 May 2019. The workshop – which follows two highly 
successful events in 2017 and 2018 – will take the format of a 
mini-symposium, and consist of three sessions, each made up of four 
speakers. Speakers will each deliver a 5-10 minute talk about their 
research to their peers and to a panel of academic experts from 
Northumbria’s Film and Television Research Group, providing a short 
introduction to their current project and identifying several questions 
for discussion. After each presentation, there will be an opportunity 
for the academic panel and other workshop participants to feedback to 
each speaker, and to ask follow-up questions.

The workshop is intended to be a small scale networking opportunity for 
scholars with shared research interests, and to provide a relatively 
informal opportunity for those newer to academia to engage in dialogue 
with more established researchers.

The event will feature a presentation by Matthew Frost (Senior 
Commissioning Editor: Literature, Theatre and Film, Manchester 
University Press), who will give advice about academic publishing 
(including converting a PhD thesis into a monograph).

Applicants are reminded that there are only twelve spaces available. 
Lunch and light refreshments will be provided throughout the day. The 
event is free to attend.

Please submit a 250 word summary of your project and a 50-100 word bio 
to the organiser,Dr Johnny Walker ((johnny.walker /at/ northumbria.ac.uk) 
<mailto:(johnny.walker /at/ northumbria.ac.uk)>), by Friday 1 April 2019.

Applicants will be notified of the outcome with 7 days of the deadline 
passing.

Research Group include: Cult Film: An Introduction (2012), Torture Porn:
