Day 2 at #MeCCSA2025 continues to be awesome. Some really inspiring research in media, communication and cultural studies is coming through which is heartening to see given the attacks on the sector we’ve been seeing. And Edinburgh is the perfect backdrop!
Today's excellent Keynote from Dr Mallika Sarabhai was introduced by Padma Bhushan & chaired by Bashabi Fraser. With opening remarks from Mr Sundeep Bhutoria.

Mallika Sarabhai, an Indian woman, performing onstage.
A closer shot of Mallika Sarabhai mid performance. She's gesturing and looks powerful.
Truly words (and my poor images!) cannot do this performance justice. What a privilege to watch Mallika Sarabhai in action. #meccsa2025

Oh, and I was taking notes all through Emily Coleman's talk so forgot to post, but lots of excellent stuff on contributors' experiences of participating in documentary (and in particular the mismatch between tidy narrative endings and reality!) #meccsa2025
We’ve moved to a new location at #meccsa2025! Ground floor near the coffee. We publish scholarly books and journals on environment & society; feel free to stop by for a chat. All books on the table are available at heavy discounts; and we’re giving away some environmental ethics journals for free.
Incredibly powerful and important documentary by Funke Osae-Brown on the treatment of young Nigerian people in Scotland. #meccsa2025
Super happy to have presented yesterday at the #MeCCSA2025 conference on African diaspora and cultural development. Thanks to all the colleagues who engaged so well
Final panel was a very moving session about activism over Palestine. Rage, guilt, memory and finding solidarity. I do really love the mittens #MeCCSA2025
Perfectly timed given some of the discussion in today's REF panel #MeCCSA2025
Two people stand in front of a stall for University of Westminster Press. They hold an OIPA members catalogue.
We love to see it!
