Dr. Stacy L. Smith Will Be the Keynote Speaker at the Second Annual Ebert Symposium, Creating an Inclusive Cinema and Media Ecosystem

We would like to invite you to the second Chaz and Roger Ebert Symposium at the University of Illinois campus in Urbana-Champaign, on September 27th. Inclusion and diversity in cinema and media will be the focus. This is an event jointly sponsored by the College of Media and its dean, Tracy Sulkin. The symposium, named in part for my late husband, the film critic, Roger Ebert, will feature academics, journalists, advertising executives, and cinema and media experts addressing the present and future of diversity in film, journalism, advertising and communication. Roger’s vision of movies as a tool for generating empathy among those of different genders, races, ages, classes or other circumstances was our starting point. Fostering empathy “is the most noble thing that good movies can do,” he has said. And this topic is an expansion of that idea. It is my firm belief that inclusion and diversity affects not only how we see the world, but how we begin to heal it. And so this symposium follows our first event from last year entitled, "Empathy for the Universe." We are so fortunate to have a very gifted panel of guests from across multiple disciplines.

The keynote speaker will be Dr. Stacy L. Smith, founder and director of the Annenberg Inclusion Initiative at the University of Southern California, a global think tank studying inequality in entertainment. Smith’s research has examined inclusion connected with gender, race, ethnicity, sexual orientation and disability across film, TV, digital platforms, the music industry and film criticism. LA Weekly named Smith the most influential person in Los Angeles in 2015 and The Hollywood Reporter named her one of 50 Agents of Change in 2019. She discussed her research on women and girls in film in a 2016 TED Talk.

The symposium, titled "Creating an Inclusive Media and Cinema Ecosystem," opens at 9 a.m. at the I-Hotel, 1900 S. First Street, Champaign. The all-day event is free and open to the public, though registration is highly encouraged to reserve a spot for selected panel discussions

In addition to Dr. Smith we are fortunate to have Dr. Nate Kohn, Gordon Quinn, Samantha Sheppard, Allyson Nadia Field, Adrianne Smith, Lincoln Stephens, Julie Turnock, Cáel Keegan, Brian Johnson, Dr. Janice Marie Collins, Abrar Al-Heeti, Ben Holden, Jason Chambers, Shazzia Khan, Ericka Riggs, and other guests to be named later. (See the bios below).

We are also sponsoring a Virtual Reality experience to help put you in the shoes of another for a visceral empathic journey. Registration begins September 6, sign up here.

Allyson Nadia Field, Diversity in Film panelist

Allyson Nadia Field is Associate Professor Cinema and Media Studies at the University of Chicago. Field’s scholarship investigates the functioning of race and representation in interdisciplinary contexts surrounding cinema. Her research focuses on African American film, both silent era cinema and more contemporary filmmaking practices, and is unified by two broad theoretical inquiries: how film and visual media shape perceptions of race and ethnicity, and how these media have been and can be mobilized to perpetuate or challenge social inequities. Her work is grounded in sustained archival research, integrating that material with concerns of film form, media theory, and broader cultural questions of representation. She is the author of Uplift Cinema: The Emergence of African American Film & The Possibility of Black Modernity (Duke University Press, 2015). Field is also, with Marsha Gordon, co-editor of Screening Race in American Nontheatrical Film (Duke University Press, 2019) and with Jan-Christopher Horak and Jacqueline Stewart, co-editor of L.A. Rebellion: Creating a New Black Cinema (University of California Press, 2015). Her current book project, tentatively titled Minstrelsy-Vaudeville-Cinema: American Popular Culture and Racialized Performance in Early Film, seeks to reframe American film history through the lens of racialized performance, tracing the development of tropes, themes, and practices from minstrelsy to the vaudeville stage and motion picture screen. In doing so, it attempts to make legible the functionings of minstrelsy’s forms within American cinema, understand its complex
negotiations of race in a rapidly changing social order, and explore moments of creative resistance to its
dehumanizing portrayals of African Americans. In support of this project, Field was named a 2019 Academy Film Scholar by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences.
