[Commlist] The BBC at 100 symposium at National Science and Media Museum, Bradford and online 14-15 September 2022: call now live

Marcus Collins is delighted to announce that applications are now open 
at https://tinyurl.com/bbc100form <https://tinyurl.com/bbc100form> to 
participate in roundtable sessions at the The BBC at 100 symposium at 
the National Science and Media Museum in Bradford and online on 14-15 
Sept 2022. The symposium is sponsored by the Arts and Humanities 
Research Council with the support of the National Science and Media 
Museum and /Media History/, which has generously agreed to subsidise 
postgraduate travel.

The symposium is interdisciplinary, inclusive and free to attend 
in-person or online. It aims
- to act as a gathering of the tribes, encompassing everyone from 
established scholars to postgraduates
- to take stock of research about the past century of British 
broadcasting by scholars in history, media and cultural studies, 
literary criticism, music, technology and related fields
- to explore what conceptual and logistical changes are needed to foster 
new directions in research and teaching
- to bring together archivists and researchers to discuss how to expand 
access to BBC archival resources, especially audiovisual ones.

The symposium will feature two types of sessions: (a) workshops run by 
archivists on how to find, access and interpret primary sources on the 
BBC and (a) roundtable discussions between four panel members and the 
audience (in-person and online) on the past, present and future of 
research on thematic topics concerning the BBC since 1922. Panel members 
will present five-minute position statements rather than papers in order 
to maximise discussion time.

Participants can either apply individually or as members of panels for a 
proposed theme.

- If you are an individual who wishes to be a panel member of a 
roundtable, simply complete the form below and we will try to find a 
suitable panel for you to join.
- If you wish to propose a roundtable panel, one panel member needs to 
complete the form below, including details of the other panel members 
and the suggested topic.

A short application form is available at https://tinyurl.com/bbc100form 
<https://tinyurl.com/bbc100form>. The deadline for all applications is 
11.59 p.m. on *Mon 23 May*. The symposium organisers will inform panel 
applications of the outcome of their application within ten working days 
of the application being submitted. Individual applicants will be 
contacted by 31 May at the latest. Any queries should be sent to Marcus 
Collins, AHRC BBC 100 Fellow and Reader in Contemporary History at
