Communities
6th - 8th January 2016
Canterbury Christ Church University

Media, Communications &


Cultural Studies Association

www.meccsa.org.uk

Welcome
Thank you for attending MeCCSA 2016 and we hope you will enjoy the conference. We have an exciting
programme over the three days with six plenaries, 42 parallel sessions and approximately 160 presentations. We will be discussing a variety of topics from the future of the BBC to the Green Paper on Higher
Education; however, the main theme for this years Annual Conference is Communities.
The notion of Communities has a long history and been subject to various reassessments. It has also
received renewed interest in recent times. In our call for papers we invited colleagues to explore how we
might advance thinking on key topics such as communities in the digital age; communities and the commons; communities and cultures; communities on the margins; local and community media; politics and
policies of communities; community engagement and cohesion; inclusion and exclusion in communities;
communities and the past. With the explorations of these topics we aim to contribute to this important
but often fragmented area within our disciplinary studies.
MeCCSA 2016 Organising Committee

Dr Keith McLay
Dean of the Faculty of Arts & Humanities
On behalf of the Vice Chancellor, Im delighted to welcome
all MeCCSA 2016 conference delegates to Canterbury Christ
Church University and in particular to the host School of
Media, Art & Design in the Faculty of Arts & Humanities.
The Faculty combines excellence in research and teaching and learning: all programmes of study are research-led,
focused on employability and student oriented.
Colleagues from across the Faculty contributed to the REF 2014 with 90% of the Facultys research
recognised as world leading or internationally significant. For the School of Media, Art & Design, these
teaching and learning and research contexts are focussed within the MeCCSA subject areas of media,
communication, cultural studies and, notably, communities and cultures through its Centre for Research
on Communities & Cultures; communities is, of course, the key theme of this years conference.
The School brings industry and academia together to teach, to learn and to research, producing graduates
who have equal facility in practice and scholarship. I wish the conference every success over the three
days as it explores the nature and understanding of communities in our 21st century digital age.

The Journal of Literary & Cultural Disability Studies (JLCDS) focuses on


cultural and especially literary representations of disability.
Containing a wide variety of textual analyses that are informed
by disability theory and, by extension, experiences of disability, it
is essential reading for scholars whose work concentrates on the
portrayal of disability in literature.
More broadly, it is instrumental in the interdisciplinarity of literary
studies, cultural studies, and disability studies.

Science Fiction Film and Television is a peer-reviewed journal


published three times a year. It encourages dialogue among the

OPVWXGLHVDQGWHOHYLVLRQVWXGLHV
Papers which consider neglected texts, propose innovative ways
of looking at canonical texts, or explore the tensions and synergies that emerge from the interaction of genre and medium are
encouraged.

Extrapolation was founded in 1959 by Thomas D. Clareson and was the

continues to be a leading, peer-reviewed, international journal in this
HOG
Extrapolation promotes innovative work which considers the place of
speculative texts in contemporary culture. It is interested in promoting
dialogue among scholars working within a number of traditions and in
encouraging the serious study of popular culture.
