Staff and students present at Screen

26 June 2025

Staff and postgraduate students presented their current research at the recent Screen Studies conference (27th-29th June), a major annual international disciplinary event connected to the journal Screen, which returned to University of Glasgow after a year's hiatus. The conference's theme was 'Returns', a nod to its own return as well as generative way of thinking about histories, theories and other forms of repetition, reinvention, revivals and so on.

Staff and students presenting their work included:

  • Dr Lucy Fife Donaldson – 'Returning as care: videographic parametic exercises as a model for citational practice' (as part of a panel 'Citation as Return: Scholarship Through Adaptation and Remake', with Ariel Avissar, Dr Colleen Laird, and Quan Zhang)
  • Wesley Kirkpatrick – 'Quiet frames, loud agendas: silent film, useful cinema and British fascism, 1933-40'
  • Professor Tom Rice – 'Lessons in new(s) media: the Daily Mail School-aid Department, 1945-55'
  • Ilinca Vânǎu – '"Aural visions": posthuman temporality and spectral voicing in Dahomey (2024)'
  • Hal Young – ‘Alternative space: exploring the destructive imagination in Ito Takashi's film works'
