AEJMC CONFERENCE 2023
August 7-10, 2023
Marriott Marquis in Washington, D.C.
The 106th annual AEJMC 2023 Conference will take place in-person August 7-10, 2023 at the Marriott Marquis in Washington, D.C., with the theme of "Fostering Freedom and Defending Democracy." The Entertainment Studies Interest Group invites faculty and graduate students to electronically submit papers for the 2023 AEJMC conference. Papers that deal with any aspect of mediated entertainment, including (but not limited to) narrative film, experimental cinema, fictional books, fictional television, game shows, new media, music, podcasts, popular magazines, sports, and cultural and entertainment journalism are welcome.
All methods (qualitative, quantitative, historical, critical) of inquiry are encouraged. Papers may not exceed 25 pages, excluding tables, figures, and references. All entries should follow the AEJMC uniform paper competition. All submissions will undergo a blind review process by a panel of independent readers.
Although all papers compete on an equal footing, the top-ranked student paper(s) sent to ESIG will receive special recognition and first author(s) will be awarded free conference registration. Students who wish to be eligible for this award must indicate when submitting electronically that the paper was written exclusively by one or more students. Only students are eligible for this prize; papers with any faculty co-author(s) are not eligible. The top-ranked faculty paper will also be recognized. Extended abstracts aren’t eligible to be considered for awards.
Authors are not required to be a member of ESIG to submit a paper. The same author(s) can submit more than one paper to ESIG. The paper must be uploaded to the server no later than 11:59 P.M. (Central Daylight Time) Saturday, April 1, 2023.
Specific Guidelines: Papers may not exceed 25 pages, excluding tables, figures, and references. Papers should be written in Times New Roman using 12-point font, with 1-inch margins on all sides. APA or MLA are acceptable styles for references. At least one author of an accepted faculty paper must attend the conference to present the paper. Questions regarding submissions should be directed to the research chair, Waleed Rashidi, California State University, Fullerton, via email at wrashidi (at) fullerton (dot) edu.
