[Carol S Vernallis]

Encounters with Partisan Media: Toward the 2022 Midterm Elections
The Society for Cinema and Media Studies Activist and Revolutionary Film and Media Special Interest Group, along with the SIGS on Media, Science, and Technology, and Sound and Music Studies, would like to invite Connectionists members to attend a zoom roundtable on partisan “heated” media this September 10th at 11am PST. This panel aims to help us prepare for the Midterms and serve as a pitch for a new transdisciplinary volume, Cybermedia: Explorations in Science, Sound, and Vision<https://www.amazon.com/Cybermedia-Explorations-Science-Vision-Approaches/dp/1501357034/ref=sr_1_1?crid=YHKFZWY5KTR&keywords=cybermedia&qid=1661021432&s=books&sprefix=cybermedia%2Cstripbooks%2C125&sr=1-1> (with Bloomsbury).

The multidisciplinary panel, drawing from scholars in music, media studies, and neuroscience, as well as industry practitioners, will explore how these political texts operate within larger social contexts, how they work audiovisually, how they might encourage us to talk with people who hold different political views, and how to take action. Each presenter will speak for 15 minutes with some Q&A, and then the floor will be open for discussion. Below is a bit more about the roundtable and our presenters.
