It will bring together established and emerging scholars from around the globe to discuss the future of television and television studies.

Over two-and-a-half days, five problematics will be addressed that have been central to the development of “television studies” as an identifiable academic endeavor and that continue to drive television scholarship: Television’s Past, Present, and Future; Television and the Nation in an Era of Globalization; Television and Politics; Television, Text, and Identity; and finally, Digital Television.

Each problematic will be discussed by a panel featuring an invited keynote speaker followed by two invited respondents and a third we aim to identify through this open call. We are particularly interested in having recent PhDs and advanced graduate students serve as respondents.
