*A collaborative event between the Department of Social Sciences and the 
Department of Arts*

**

PhD students and Early Career Researchers working in the field(s) of 
“horror, cult and exploitation” screen media, are invited to submit 
abstracts about their research to deliver at a workshop that is *_free 
to attend_* at Northumbria University on *_Friday 4 May 2018_*. The 
workshop – which follows on from a highly successful event last year – 
will take the format of a mini-symposium, and consist of three sessions, 
each made up of four speakers. Speakers will each deliver a 5-10 minute 
talk about their research to their peers and to a panel of academic 
experts from Northumbria’s Film and Television Research Group, providing 
a short introduction to their current project and identifying several 
questions for discussion. After each presentation, there will be an 
opportunity for the academic panel and other workshop participants to 
feedback to each speaker, and to ask follow-up questions.

The workshop is intended to be a small scale networking opportunity for 
scholars with shared research interests, and to provide a relatively 
informal opportunity for those newer to academia to engage in dialogue 
with more established researchers.

The event will close with a short presentation by James Campbell from 
Intellect Books, who will give advice about academic publishing 
(including converting a PhD thesis into a monograph).

The academic panel will comprise:

  * ·Dr Russ Hunter (Senior Lecturer in Film and Television Studies,
    co-editor of /Italian Horror Cinema/)
  * ·Dr Steve Jones (Head of Media, author of /Torture Porn: Popular
    Horror After Saw/, co-editor of /Zombies and Sexuality/)
  * ·Dr James Leggott (Senior Lecturer in Film and Television Studies,
    author of /Contemporary British Cinema: From Heritage to Horror/)
  * ·Dr Sarah Ralph (Senior Lecturer in Media and Cultural Studies,
    co-author of /Alien Audiences: Remembering and Evaluating a Classic
    Movie/)
  * ·Dr Jamie Sexton (Senior Lecturer in Film and Television Studies,
    co-author of /Cult Film: An Introduction/, founding series co-editor
    of /Cultographies/)
  * ·Dr Johnny Walker (Senior Lecturer in Media, author of /Contemporary
    British Horror Cinema: Industry, Genre and Society/and co-editor of
    the /Global Exploitation Cinemas/book series)

Applicants are reminded that there are *_only twelve spaces available_*. 
Lunch and light refreshments will be provided throughout the day.

<mailto:(johnny.walker /at/ northumbria.ac.uk)>), by *_Friday 30 March 2018_*.
