In the next few posts we will be recapping some of the exciting developments for The Media Ecology Project in the year since we held our opening symposium at Dartmouth College. This is the second of five installments focusing on conference presentations about MEP in 2013-2014.<\/em><\/p>\n The Society for Cinema and Media Studies conferences have been invaluable to The Media Ecology Project as opportunities for collegial and intellectual exchange. In March of 2013 we provided an overview of MEP and its intended architecture for a workshop entitled \u201cDesigning for Open Access.\u201d \u00a0Little did we expect that a raging Chicago snowstorm would delimit participation during this opening conference session, but Mark Williams was able to Skype in workshop chair\u00a0Eric Hoyt<\/a>\u00a0(University of Wisconsin,\u00a0Media History Digital Library<\/a>) as he awaited the morning bus from Madison. \u00a0James Steffen<\/a>\u00a0(Emory) helped to lead a spirited discussion of open access goals and the work it takes to sustain them. \u00a0Hoyt also participated in the May 2013 symposium at Dartmouth, and is a most valued colleague and participant in MEP.<\/p>\n At the 2014 conference in Seattle, MEP was featured in a workshop entitled \u201cThe Televisual Archive: New Directions of Research and Access\u201d which allowed us to introduce and promote two of our pilot projects that specifically demonstrate the usefulness of television archives for studying \u00a0the history of the 20th century.<\/p>\n Excellent colleagues Mark Cooper (University of South Carolina) and Amelie Hastie (Amherst) discussed insights drawn from their experience in utilizing archives for original primary research. \u00a0Especially notable was the participation of two essential resources from the U.S. television archive world: Karen Cariani from the\u00a0WGBH Archive<\/a>\u00a0in Boston and Mark Quigley from the\u00a0UCLA Film and Television Archive<\/a>. Cooper had just finished serving as the Acting Director of the\u00a0Moving Image Research Collection<\/a>\u00a0at The University of South Carolina. \u00a0The MIRC, WGBH and UCLA Archives are central participating partners in MEP, especially regarding the News pilot project and the pilot devoted to augmenting study of the historic television series\u00a0In the Life<\/a><\/em>, which assays gay and lesbian life in the U.S.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" In the next few posts we will be recapping some of the exciting developments for The Media Ecology Project in the year since we held our opening symposium at Dartmouth… SCMS Recaps 2013 & 2014<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[1],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/mediaecology.dartmouth.edu\/wp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/233"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/mediaecology.dartmouth.edu\/wp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/mediaecology.dartmouth.edu\/wp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mediaecology.dartmouth.edu\/wp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mediaecology.dartmouth.edu\/wp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=233"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/mediaecology.dartmouth.edu\/wp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/233\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":421,"href":"https:\/\/mediaecology.dartmouth.edu\/wp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/233\/revisions\/421"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/mediaecology.dartmouth.edu\/wp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=233"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mediaecology.dartmouth.edu\/wp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=233"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mediaecology.dartmouth.edu\/wp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=233"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}![\"\"](\"https:\/\/mediaecology.dartmouth.edu\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/08\/scms_2014_poster.png\")
