I’m pleased to announce the public launch of Cult Media Studies, an online networking hub for students and academics studying cult film, television, and other media. We are currently seeking new members with an interest in this area of research, and hope to have the website grow and evolve to fit its members’ needs over the coming months. The site is still a work in progress, so any suggestions for new content or features are greatly appreciated.
The site's centerpiece is a discussion forum for conversing about cult media studies and the objects of its analysis. Announcements of events, new releases, and calls for papers are welcomed. Important events (conferences, festivals, etc.) can be posted on the main page. There is also a section of the site for uploading or embedding videos as visual aids or potential objects of interest for other members. Members may also post blogs, photos, comments, or other content on their personal pages.
The site’s advisory board includes the following scholars:
Kate Egan, University of Aberystwyth
Matt Hills, Cardiff University
I.Q. Hunter, De Montfort University
Barbara Klinger, Indiana University
Ernest Mathijs, University of British Columbia
Eric Schaefer, Emerson College
Jamie Sexton, University of Aberystwyth
Should you be interested in visiting or signing up, the site can be found here: http://cultmediastudies.ning.com/
All the best,
David Church
