Read the manifesto of the #SCMS Precarious Labor Organization in the new #JCMS. If you are a film and media scholar - inside or outside of #SCMS, TT, contingent, adjunct, independent, alt-ac, ex-ac - join the PLO. We are all precarious now. https://t.co/P0nHjkCUH2
If you are involved in any way with SCMS, please read this thread.
This is my final plea/call to action before this year’s conference.
Long story short: we must demand a hybrid model — at bare minimum — to meet many of the ideological frameworks we claim to practice.
#SCMS2023 is about to kick off in Denver.
For those lucky enough to be in attendance, I hope you enjoy.
For all of us--during the conference and after--it's definitely time to have tough conversations about how we gather and who it leaves behind /1
For those attending #SCMS2023 consider the papers you won’t get to see because their authors couldn’t afford to go, couldn’t get time off work, couldn’t get child care, left academia, or are teaching your classes while you’re on sabbatical… #scms#SCMS23 https://t.co/ryxfEDv4gt
