The Seminar
This event is designed for postgraduate students and brings together practitioners
from the worlds of the media and politics together with academic researchers in
the policy field. The purpose of the seminar is to explore some of the key issues
involved in film and broadcasting policy research. These include the framing of
research objectives, questions of methodology, problems of access to sources and
the use and dissemination of findings. Applications are invited from all postgraduate
students with an interest in this area (contemporary or historical), but priority
will be given to doctoral students who must obtain the approval of their supervisor.
Within the constraints of time, participants will have the opportunity to present
their work to a group of peers and to receive feedback from staff and students.
This seminar is one of a series of postgraduate training events run by the AHRB
Centre for British Film and Television Studies.
The event at Edward King House, Lincoln, starts at 6.15pm on Thursday 19 May and
ends at 4.30pm on Friday 20 May, 2005. Professor John Hill (former member
of the Board of the UK Film Council and author of numerous publications on British
cinema) will deliver the opening, keynote presentation on the Thursday evening.
Speakers on the Friday include Dr. Gillian Doyle, University of Stirling
(author of Understanding Media Economics and Media Ownership), Peter Goddard,
University of Liverpool (researching the history of current affairs regulation
in the Granada and ITC/Ofcom archives), Simon Pitts, Controller of Regulatory
Afffairs at ITV and Carole Tongue, expert on public service broadcasting
and former Member of the European Parliament with responsibility for audio-visual
policy. The event is residential and registration is free, but places are limited
and must be booked in advance (the application form can be obtained from the Centre
