#SCMS friends and colleagues! The TV SIG is excited to share the list of our sponsored panels for the upcoming SCMS 2025 conference in Chicago! Be on the lookout for the following panels:
We had lots of great panels submitted, but we're sadly only allowed to "officially" sponsor 8 panels in the program. Even though we're limited in our "official" list, there are many exciting TV Studies panels scheduled, and we can’t wait to promote as many of them as possible!
