(202-737-1234) Conference Director Alfred Bendixen Texas A&M University Draft as of March 5, 2014 This on-line draft of the program is designed to provide information to participants in our 25th conference and provide them with an opportunity to make corrections. Participants should check the description of their papers and panels to ensure that names and titles and other information are spelled appropriately. Times of Panels: If there is a conflict in the program (i.e., someone is booked to appear in two places at the same time), please let me know immediately. The program indicates that a few slots for business meetings are still available, but it will be difficult to make other changes. You can presume that the day of your panel is now fixed in stone (and it will not change without the concurrence of every person on that panel) but it may be necessary to make minor changes in the time of a panel. Audio-Visual Equipment: The program also lists the audio-visual equipment that has been requested for each panel. Please note that it may be difficult or impossible to add any audio-visual equipment at this point, but individuals may make such requests. The ALA normally provides a digital projector and screen to those who have requested it at the time the panel or paper is submitted.

(August 2009) Ludovic A. Sourdot, B.A., University Jean-Monnet, Saint-Etienne, France; B.S., Arkansas State University; M.Ed. Texas State University Co-Chairs of Advisory Committee: Dr. B. Stephen Carpenter, II Dr. Patrick Slattery This study examined the intentions of a group of individuals who created the sitcom Aliens in America broadcast on the CW Network in 2007-2008 and the ways in which three separate groups (bloggers, TV critics and local television viewers) perceived the show. In doing so I attempted to uncover the pedagogical implications of these intentions and perceptions for visual culture studies. I used a qualitative approach to conduct this study. I gathered interviews the creators of the show gave to media outlets in 2007 and 2008.
