A one day conference in collaboration between Newcastle University's Research Centre in Film & Digital Media and the University of Sunderland's Centre for Resea - Revisiting Star Studies: International Conference
Project Leader(s): Professor Guy Austin and Dr Sabrina Yu
This conference aims to reassess some of the dominant models in star studies, and generate new critical paradigms that are more appropriate to address non-Hollywood stardom. We also wish to identify under-researched areas in film stardom.
