On October 23 and 24, the ZdC Cinema and Media Studies Graduate 
Association hosts its annual graduate conference, First Forum. This 
year, First Forum 2020 has invited engagements from emerging scholars, 
educators, researchers, artists, activists, and community members to 
consider passing as a technology of and against visual, aesthetic, 
cinematic, televisual, and computational regimes. Across the 
conference’s two days, we’re excited to have 18 participants in 
conversation across 6 panels. A detailed schedule of the panels and 
paper descriptions can be found on our website: firstforum2020.com/ 
<https://urldefense.com/v3/__http://firstforum2020.com/__;!!LIr3w8kk_Xxm!4-sYUCNA8joIlBcroQcyKBlVvJPbWV0DeSHFiw-WZ9aSbFMMQryHi-Qyydxa$>.

At 3p on October 24, we’re excited to host a *keynote roundtable between 
Sandra Harvey (UC Irvine), Jian Neo Chen (Ohio State), American Artist, 
and Zakiyyah Iman Jackson (USC).*
