On behalf of the Communication History division of ICA, we’re pleased to announce the schedule for our preconference “Communications and the State: Toward a New International History,” to be held on Thursday, May 21, 2015 in San Juan, Puerto Rico. (The larger ICA conference runs from May 21-25.)
The Journal of Eurasia Film Studies (JEFS) is a peer-reviewed and interdisciplinary academic journal focuses on the history, theory, and criticism of cinema, the visual arts and other moving image media in Eurasia as analyzed by film, economists, political scientists and others drawn from throughout the continent and the world. In doing this, the Journal of Eurasia Film Studies internationalizes local concerns within Eurasian communities and beyond the various Asian and European civilizations in more cross-regional perspectives on film and visual culture.

Dear Editors:
Good morning.
I'm the only media historian in a department of communication, and I am working toward promotion to full professor. However, my senior colleagues are not certain what my credentials should look like for this promotion. They have asked me to collect a dozen or so CVs from media historians who have been promoted to full rank within the last two years or who will submit their dossiers for promotion to full professor this year. They would see only the "aggregate" information, not scholars's specific names.
