New Media & the Global Diaspora 2009!
  Conference Theme: Exploring Media in Caribbean Diasporas
  Roger Williams University, Bristol RI
  October 1-3, 2009

Culture on the Move
The symposium organizers invite works that explore media in relation to all immigrant communities. We are particularly interested in papers that speak to this year’s spotlight on Caribbean diasporas across the globe. We welcome academic papers from a variety of perspectives in all disciplines, from theory, qualitative research, and empirical studies to literary and cultural studies. Topics might include, but are not limited to:

Real Places, Virtual Spaces: Creating Cultural Communities Through Media
Exploring Gender at the Crossroads of Media and Culture
Seeing Diaspora: Media, Community and Visual Rhetoric
Media as Culture: Myth and Reality in Film
Locating Interdisciplinarity: Technology and the Humanities

We are no longer accepting submissions for the symposium.
