[ecrea] Fwd: [csaa-forum] CALL FOR PAPERS - MC Journal Issue 'IMPACT'

*CALL FOR PAPERS - MC Journal Issue 'IMPACT' (Dec 2011)*

Researchers from the Social Sciences and Humanities are invited to 
submit papers for MC Journal's December Issue. 'Impact' encapsulates the 
outcomes of the work of a new generation of cultural researchers and to 
what extent it has the capacity to influence the direction of current 
debates in the public sphere surrounding social, political and cultural 
agendas. The theme 'impact' was chosen because of the conviction that 
cultural research has the potential to have enormous impact not only on 
academia but also on the wider community. Through introducing new 
discourses, perspectives and paradigms which have the capacity to 
influence policy making, cultural researchers can position themselves as 
intermediaries to inform societal groups through utilizing mediums such 
as the media, in ways that impact upon and have relevance to the 
everyday lives of various communities. The papers selected for 
publication should cover broad-ranging topics, but convey the importance 
for emerging cultural research to have general applicability and thus 
impact on a wider audience. Contributions might discuss successes, 
pitfalls and experimental research methodologies, identity politics 
(queer, indigenous, ethnical) both in Australia and internationally as 
well as explorations into the use of film, theatre and the internet.
