CALL FOR PAPERS MECCSA 2013
Dear colleagues, below is a call for papers for the annual MeCCSA
conference in January 2013, hosted by the University of Ulster. For the
first time, MeCCSA is using an Open Conference System, which integrates
each stage of the conference, from abstract submission through to
registration and payment (using the EventBrite system.) For this you
need to log in to the system (i.e. 'register' on it - this does not mean
you are registered for the conference, just entered on the system). We
hope that this system can be used for all future MeCCSA conferences.
CALL FOR PAPERS
MeCCSA CONFERENCE 2013:
University of Ulster
‘Spaces and Places of Culture’

Panels
Full panel proposals should include a short description and rationale
(200 words) along with abstracts for each of the papers (250 words each)
and the name of the person chairing, contact details for all panelists
and technical requirements.
Panelists should indicate if they are willing to be considered separately.
Practice
We are keen to support the presentation of media practice work, in
particular when there is insufficient time to present full work during
paper presentation. To this end we will allocate a presentation space
for practice artefacts which include screenings, computer based work and
multi-screen work (where possible). For practice please include specific
technical requirements (e.g. duration, format) and an URL pointing to
practice support material. All presentations must run on PowerPoint
compatible with Windows 7. We cannot run Keynote or other alternatives.
All film/video work must play on a commercial DVD player. We cannot run
.AVI, .MOV or similar file types. To avoid disappointment we would ask
all delegates to ensure their presentations/films are compatible with
the above specifications.
Prizes
The Higher Education Academy Subject Centre (HEA) is supporting the
conference and is offering a £500 prize and publication for the best
paper analysing key issues impacting on media, communications and
cultural studies in higher education. Submission details as for other
papers but a full paper must be with HEA by 23 November 2012 Email:
(john.mundy /at/ heacademy.ac.uk)
Posters: The academic poster is highly valued by MeCCSA as an indicator
of current research and there will be an open space set aside for poster
display.
A prize of £100 will be awarded to the best poster judged the MeCCSA
Executive Committee.
