Organized by PhD and Postdoc fellows @annenbergcargc.bsky.social, a conf. focused on the role of media and communication scholarship in times of global crises: www.asc.upenn.edu/news-events/.... Please spread the word! Also, we're lucky to have Nabil Echchaibi as our keynote speaker!

Please spread the word, and do send us an abstract if you are reflecting on solidarity, worldmaking, media and communication infrastructures, and figures like Bruce Lee, Kwame Nkrumah, and Jawaharlal Nehru.

Who wouldn't want to attend a conference on Hollywood (in LA) next July? See details below and check out the CFP! Deadline is 1/12.

We've also got an absolutely stellar conference board helping make this happen including @adewaard.bsky.social @kfortmueller.bsky.social @jenmhessler.bsky.social @alfredmartin.bsky.social @aperren.bsky.social @shelleystamp.bsky.social @kristenwarner.bsky.social

We're looking for papers, panels, and roundtables around the study of Hollywood - past and present - through a variety of interpretations of what that means. Feel free to reach out to me or my co-organizers @jdconnor.bsky.social and @nitingovil.bsky.social if you have questions.

I'm very excited to share that my department at USC is hosting a new conference this summer - The Hollywood Conference! Please spread the word and come join us in LA (the obviously spot for this) next July. www.thehollywoodconference.com/cfp
