SCREEN TEST: WHAT IS THE FUTURE FOR FILM AND TELEVISION RESEARCH?

One-day symposium hosted by the Centre for Creative and Cultural Research (CCCR), University of Portsmouth

5 July 2011

Geological Society
Burlington House
Piccadilly
London W1J 0BG

While all intellectual fields periodically go through processes of review, this event is driven by timely questions over how the field will respond to two key challenges we face: firstly, evident changes to the funding of arts and humanities research; and secondly, larger questions about the status of film and media scholarship in the changing academic marketplace and what implications this may have for the type of knowledge which colleagues may look to generate in future through their scholarship.

The aim of the day is to generate informed debate around the following issues:
- what is the current state of the field in screen studies research?
- how does the academic community engage with constituencies beyond the immediate research context?
- what role do non-academic partners have in promoting access to film and television sources?
