Academia on Screen: The World of Higher Education in Film and TV Series Across Cultures

This conference aims to explore the multifaceted portrayals of academia and academics in films and TV series, in both fictional and documentary modes, across diverse cultural contexts. These multimodal media not only capture societal perspectives and moods but also play a pivotal role in shaping public perceptions. They can serve as catalysts for reflection on academic practice and societal discourse, fostering a deeper understanding of cultural imprints and trends, highlighting differences and similarities across cultures, raising critical awareness, challenging stereotypes, and promoting inclusivity.

We invite scholars from various disciplines and all continents, including but not limited to film and media studies, literary studies, linguistics, cultural studies, didactics and education, to dissect and discuss representations of academic environments, characters, and narratives in fictional and documentary films and TV series.
