Visual Culture and Media Studies Network

About us:

The Visual Culture and Media Studies Network is a virtual platform intended to create closer ties and connections among scholars from different disciplines working on visual and media studies with a special emphasis on North American topics. It fosters scholarly exchange on research related to film, television, photography, painting, design, graphic arts, and new digital media.
