The Society for Cinema and Media Studies (SCMS) is one of the preeminent organizations for film studies and media studies academics (I'll be presenting at this year's professional conference in Chicago, March 2013). There's a new initiative for undergraduates (announcement below), which sounds like a great opportunity if you're interested in this field, further study, and taking the time to craft a strong proposal.
_______
The Society for Cinema and Media Studies is proud
to announce its support for a new venture, the Society for Cinema and
Media Studies Undergraduate Conference. Previously conducted under the
title of the Midwest Undergraduate Film and Television Conference and
held only at the University of Notre Dame, this new incarnation will
rotate across multiple universities on an annual basis, so as to enable
wider access to students across North America. It will carry the SCMS
imprimatur to reflect the organization’s strong support for
undergraduate education in cinema and media studies.
We ask that you tell your best undergraduate
students about the First Annual Society for Cinema and Media Studies
Undergraduate Conference. It will be once again held at the University
of Notre Dame on April 11-12, 2013. Next year it will move to the
University of Oklahoma.
Undergraduate students are invited to propose
papers appropriate for a 20-minute presentation on any aspect of cinema
and media history, criticism, or theory. Interested students must submit
a proposal form, which can be found at http://ftt.nd.edu/ftt-events/
Completed proposals should be sent by email to JoAnn.Norris.9@nd.edu at the University of Notre Dame. Please write "SCMS Undergrad Conference 2013" in the subject heading.
The deadline for proposals is Midnight EST on
Monday, February 4, 2013. Questions about the conference should be
directed to Christine Becker at cbecker1@nd.edu.
