[Commlist] CFP Rethinking Culture, Media and Creative Industries in the Era of Covid, CMCI Online Conference

The Department of Culture, Media and Creative Industries of King’s 
College London will host its first online postgraduate conference – 
Rethinking Culture, Media and Creative Industries in the Era of Covid – 
in July 2021. This year, the CMCI PGR conference will set out to explore 
and re-evaluate the cultural, media and creative industries during and 
after the Covid-19 pandemic. This conference will provide a forum to 
examine and reflect on how the challenges of the past year have reshaped 
and will reshape both our cultural landscape and research practices. The 
conference – organised by a committee of CMCI postgraduate research 
students – will take place on 1-2 July 2021 via Zoom and will be 
live-streamed on YouTube.
We invite researchers and practitioners from diverse disciplinary 
backgrounds and with a particular interest in culture, media and 
creative industries to present original empirical and theoretical 
research at this year’s Rethinking Culture, Media and Creative 
Industries in the Era of Covid conference. The years 2020/21 have 
brought to the fore global issues of social inequality and exclusion, 
working practices, digital cultures, sustainability, political 
structures, cultural production and consumption, etc. Not only 
Covid-related themes but those focusing on other relevant contemporary 
developments are also welcome. We especially encourage submissions by 
doctoral students and early career researchers from all around the world.

Sub-themes might include, but are not limited to, the following areas:
•	Social inequalities and exclusions highlighted by the pandemic: 
gender, sexuality, race, ethnicity, class, age, etc. in culture, media 
and creative industries
•	(Creative) Digital/online methods in researching culture media and 
creative Industries
•	Social media and digital culture •	Cultural production and consumption
•	Working and labour practices in the culture, media and creative industries
•	(Inter)locality and Transnationality

industries •	Social, economic and environmental sustainability

disciplines who can contribute to these discussions are invited to send 
an abstract (up to 250 words) and a short biography (up to 150 words) to
