Attention all Cultural Studies students and alumni!
Cultural Studies has a strange but beautiful home in the basement of Mac-Corry Hall, with lots of hallways and odd spaces, and we would like to bring it to life by displaying images from student research.
We invite you to submit a digital copy of artwork or a graphic/photograph that highlights an aspect of your research, research-creation, or fieldwork.
Selected pieces will be displayed in our Cultural Studies gallery space and possibly used on our website and other promotional materials. A $100 honorarium will be offered for each accepted image, and images will be credited in all uses.
We prefer images that were created as part of your Cultural Studies degree, but all submissions are welcome and will be considered.
Submission deadline: July 14 @ 4pm
Questions / submissions? Contact PhD student Elaine Chan-Dow at cs.gradstudent-ra@queensu.ca
Interested but not ready yet: Contact us for more details.
