Help build a new conversation on contemporary relationships between media
and class, creating new definitions of 'class' in the process.

This interactive NCA preconference seminar on Media & Class in the 21st
Century will bring together 25 scholars from many communication subfields
working at the intersection of media and class, with specific focus on how
understandings of class are changing in contemporary media contexts. This
daylong seminar will consist of two plenary sessions, brief presentations
of position papers by participants, small group interactions and an
interactive lunch that encourages scholars to meet others who share their
interests.

All participants in the preconference will be work-shopping and presenting
their ideas to each other. Prospective participants should submit brief
position papers* drawing upon empirical or critical approaches in an
exploration of contemporary and/or historical issues at the intersection of
media and class.

* NOTE: 1 to 2-page drafts are acceptable at the time of submission; 2 to 5
page papers must be submitted within two weeks of acceptance, and will be
circulated to other participants in advance.

Position papers should be submitted as email attachments in MS Word to
Erika Polson and Lynn Schofield Clark at: Media.and.Class at gmail.com . The
deadline for submissions is September 9, 2016. Acceptance decisions will be
made by October 1, 2010.  Additional information about the seminar can be
