10:00-18:00
(followed by a party)
Opening address: Prof Paul Webley (Director of SOAS)

Endnote Speaker: Prof Laura Mulvey
The conference jointly is organized by SACREDMEDIACOW, an independent student-led research centre on Indian media, and the Centre for Film and Media Studies at the School Of Oriental and African Studies. Having said that, SACREDMEDIACOW is not really a centre for India media research (perhaps, a periphery of Indian media research would be a more appropriate title), but more of a Collective.
