In partnership with MSRW (Media Studies Research Workshop) and GMSI (Global Media Studies Initiative), this session invites participants to define their approach to global media studies. Invited guests will give flash talks that provide working definitions and case studies that exemplify their research. The session will then open up to everyone for a group workshop. The goals of the event are to bring attention to long-established scholarship in global media studies, build a critical media studies toolkit with methodological specificity and ‘working definitions’ of what Global Media Studies might mean, and continue the conversation about how
to properly locate the U.S. and other privileged geographies within global media studies. Attendees are encouraged (but not required) to bring methods, case studies, or examples from their work to discuss.
