Call for papers - Intercultural Learning and the role of Visual Media workshop

CILT, Covent Garden, London, 31st January

The Subject Centre is looking for contributions to its forthcoming event on the various uses of visual media - film television and other visual representations - in undergraduate teaching to promote intercultural awareness as part of a programme in area, transnational or postnational studies.

It will particularly explore the inter-disciplinary interfaces between film, media and cultural studies on the one hand and disciplines such as Geography, History and Politics on the other. How can visual media help to develop an understanding of cultural diversity, cultural difference and help advance intercultural awareness? We are seeking short (15 - 20 min) papers on aspects of this theme, ideally focussing upon examples of classroom practice.

Proposals to give papers should be submitted in the form of a short abstract accompanied by brief details of the context in which you are teaching, e.g. your dept/institution, areas of expertise, subjects taught, together with your contact details. The closing date for the receipt of abstracts is 22nd November 2002. Please email proposals to llas@soton.ac.uk
