The Walt Disney Company uses multiple online and offline spaces to sell 
and showcase their products to audiences and consumers. From cable 
networks, streaming and games, to licensed merchandise and theme parks, 
music, film and art - Disney fans can engage with the global multimedia 
conglomerate in a range of ways. But what do these spaces and options 
mean for audiences and wider society? And what does that mean for the 
past, present and future of the company? What is Disney Culture, and 
what is its relationship with people all over the world?

This year’s annual Disney, Culture and Society Research Network 
conference asks for papers exploring how Disney has shaped their brand 
for themselves and audiences alike across the multimedia spaces they 
inhabit. How have Disney sold products, reached consumers and developed 
‘Disney Culture’ in all its entities?

If you are researching elements of the Walt Disney Company in its wide 
range of capacities, we want to hear from you. We invite abstract 
submissions from all disciplines on a diverse range of Disney Studies 
topics as represented by our Network, including but not limited to:

We are aware of the current state of the world when it comes to 
travelling for conferences: the financial precarity of scholars, the 
environmental harm, and the difficulties of procuring visas for 
international travel. We want to make this conference as accessible to 
as many different Disney scholars as possible, so this will be an online 
conference.
