This week, at the Society for Cinema and Media Studies’ Annual Conference, many students and faculty members from Concordia University will be presenting papers and participating in various events in and around the conference.
To help you in finding out when and where to see these presentations, I’ve taken the liberty of creating a list of all the talks which feature students or faculty from Concordia. You can also refer to the full program to see who else will be presenting.
In addition to all these presentations, come meet Concordia faculty, students and alumni at the Concordia Bar Night. Free drinks and food will be served starting at 7:30pm on Friday March 21 at the Alibi Room (85 Pike Street, #410. A mere 7 minute walk from the Sheraton Hotel).
We look forward to seeing you there!
