“Celebrating Voices”
The 11th Annual South Asian Media and Cultural Studies Conference
January 30-31, 2025
Florida State University, Tallahassee, FL, USA (and online)
The 11th annual South Asian Media and Cultural Studies (SAMCS) conference will delve into the intersection of communication, a culture-centered approach, and innovations in empowering communities and amplifying underrepresented and indigenous voices in South Asia, and worldwide.
Through this year’s theme of “Celebrating Voices,” we seek to foster a sustainable and responsive partnership in the region, uniting research, practitioners, and community experts to help chart the course in the media and cultural studies and practices in South Asia. The journey toward sustainable and inclusive development in South Asian requires ongoing commitment from educators, learners, and practitioners. Through engaging presentations, discussions, and shared experiences, this year’s conference aims to spark new ideas and conversations that celebrate and amplify underrepresented voices in South Asia, and beyond.
