[Commlist] CFP: Horror, Cult and Exploitation Media IV

With apologies for cross-posting, find below the CFP for an online event 
about horror, cult and exploitation media, hosted by the Moving Image 
and Popular Media Culture Research Group at Northumbria University (UK).

*Horror, Cult and Exploitation Media IV: An Online Workshop for PhDs and 
ECRs (13 May 2021, Northumbria University)*

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 an online workshop, hosted 
by the Moving Image and Popular Media Culture Research Group at 
Northumbria University, UK, on *Thursday 13 May 2021*.

The workshop – which follows three highly successful events in 2017, 
2018 and 2019 (2020’s was cancelled due to Covid-19) – 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 Northumbria’s academic 
experts, 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 feature a presentation by Dr Kieran Foster (author of 
/Hammer Goes to Hell: The House of Horror's Unmade Films/), who will 
discuss the contents of the official Hammer Script Archive housed at De 
Montfort University.

Applicants are reminded that there are only twelve spaces available. The 
event is free to attend.

The deadline for abstracts is 23.59 (GMT) Sunday 28 March 2021. To 
submit an abstract, please complete the form at the following link: 
https://forms.gle/QytCfRQrvjUibxNv6 
<https://forms.gle/QytCfRQrvjUibxNv6>. Applicants will be notified of 
the outcome of their proposal within 7 days of the deadline.

Questions can be directed to the event’s principal organiser, Dr Johnny 
Walker ((johnny.walker /at/ northumbria.ac.uk)
