About Critical Approaches to Black Media Culture
Black media studies stands as one of the most vibrant and vital areas of film and media studies. This conference seeks to bring together scholars working within the area to reflect on the history, present, and future(s) of the field. The hope is to draw in scholars who are emerging and established, working in US and global contexts, applying a variety of methods, and studying every dimension from production to consumption.
Hosted by the Tulane University Department of Communication, the conference will be held at the Four Points by Sheraton French Quarter in New Orleans from February 15-17, 2024.
