If you happen to be in Frankfurt this evening, please join me at Goethe University for a talk on The Wizard of Oz, escapism, and home video: https://t.co/QYWEom1Z0Y

The dept is excited to announce that Dr. Caetlin Benson-Allott will be a Mercator Fellow at the Graduiertenkolleg "Configurations of Film" at Goethe University Frankfurt. Her work will connect her prev work on material media cultures with her current research on media & escapism.

@GU_ENGL Thanks!

Our "Happy Farewell" as Editors of @JCMSJournal just came out. Which I guess means it's really over? If you're interested in our reflections on working (hard) for equity in academic journals publishing, please follow the link. Or DM me for a PDF!

And, if I may, find your people and dream audacious dreams together. You won’t believe the joy it brings.

[Caetlin Benson-Allott @VideoPhD]

You all know how reluctantly I tweet. But if there’s one thing that’ll get me to do it it’s celebrating the people I love.

[Caetlin Benson-Allott @VideoPhD]

Their passion, conviction, and faith in change made me a better person than I was when we started. Please join me in applauding them (fine, us) for proving that we can all be agents of equity, that we’re going to leave this world better than we found it.

Inordinately excited to share with you my Film Quarterly column on the Jan 6 hearings--some of best, most important television of 2022. Maybe because I finished the essay battling COVID, maybe b/c I finally got to write about essays I love and teach every year. DM me for PDF!

[Caetlin Benson-Allott @VideoPhD]

Can't believe today's my last day as Ed of @JCMSJournal. I had no idea how much this job would change me or that it would be the greatest honor and challenge of my career. THANK YOU to all who wrote, reviewed, and edited for JCMS. Together we created the change we wanted to see.

Today ends my amazing partner Caetlin @VideoPhD's five-year term as editor in-chief of @JCMSJournal. She doesn't brag enough, so here's some of what she and her amazing team have accomplished.

The snark has hit the fan. My horror-themed takedown of Ken Auletta's new bio of Harvey Weinstein just appeared on the Washington Post website--print on Sunday! https://t.co/mU3gy0vMCx

Couldn't be happier that Bo Ruberg & Liz Ellcessor are succeeding me as Co-Editors of JCMS. Not only have I been a fan of their scholarship for years (& enjoyed working with them on their own publications in JCMS), but their application essays were truly inspiring! So excited!!!

[JCMS: Journal of Cinema and Media Studies @JCMSJournal]

Big news alert!!! 🥳🥳Please join us in welcoming @trilliz and @MyOwnVelouria as the next Co-Editors of JCMS. Committed to diversity, outreach, open access and online initiatives, and the various needs of @SCMStudies membership, they will serve a five year term from January 2023.
