Karl Schoonover & Rosalind Galt's 'Queer Cinema in the World' wins the SCMS best book award

The department's Karl Schoonover has won the Society for Cinema and Media Studies's Katherine Singer Kovács Book Award for Queer Cinema in the World, a book co-authored with Rosalind Galt (King's College London). The international award recognises the best monograph written on film and media studies in the past year, honouring 'original works that significantly advance scholarship and thinking in the field either by opening up new lines of inquiry or by consolidating existing ones at a high level of accomplishment'. The department congratulates Karl and Rosalind on their success and details of the award can be found here.

Previous award successes by members of the department faculty include Helen Wheatley's BAFTSS award for Best Monograph for Spectacuar Television: Exploring Televisual Pleasure and Julie Lobalzo Wright's BAFTSS award for Best Edited Collection (alongside co-editor Lucy Bolton, Queen Mary, University of London) for Lasting Screen Stars at the 2017 BAFTSS (British Association of Film, Television and Screen Studies) Awards.
