[Air-l] CFP: Flow Conference 2006 (6/15/06; 10/26-10/29/06)

[Nick Muntean]

The Flow Conference (Oct. 26 -29, 2006; Austin, TX) -- a series of
roundtable discussions with topics created by Flow columnists organized
around
the future of television and media culture -- is now accepting submissions
to
join a roundtable. Deadline for submission is: June 15, 2006.


The goal of the Flow Conference is conversation. There are no plenary
sessions, and participants are asked to submit short position papers (not
full-length essays). We want to promote discussion amongst scholars,
members of the media industries, media activists, fans, and policy-makers
over crucial issues related to television and media.


The conference program will include the institutional affiliation and
paper titles of each participant, and we will provide web space for
presenters to circulate position papers and any supplemental research or
other supporting materials.


For the list of roundtable topics, please visit the conference website
at: www.flowconference.org . To join a roundtable, submit a 250 word
abstract identifying the roundtable in which you want to participate and
detailing your response to the topic statement, and a short bio, to:
flowconference at utlists.utexas.edu.
