CfP: Mediality and Multimodality across Media

Winter School
Graduate Academy of the University of Tuebingen, Germany
January 28 to January 30, 2015
Stichtag: 2014 12 15

The Winter School “Mediality and Multimodality across Media” examines the forms and functions of a wide variety of multimodal media forms from a range of different (inter)disciplinary perspectives (for further information, see the attached program). To complement the keynotes and workshops, we warmly invite junior researchers — advanced MA students and PhD students, in particular — to contribute to the program in the form of short 15 minute papers presenting their own research projects.

Please send an abstract of 200 words and a 100-word bio via email (as a PDF or Word-Document) to multimodality@graduiertenakademie.uni-tuebingen.de no later than December 15, 2014. Preference will be given to papers that have some connection to the rest of the Winter School program. For MA and PhD students whose papers are accepted, accommodation grants covering the cost of a hotel room for the duration of the Winter School (but not the travel costs) are available.
