Associate Professor Erica Levin recently published an article in Afterimage entitled, "To assemble is to think through this world: Narrative Desire in the Films of Ana Vaz." In May, she continued her research on Vaz's  work by visiting the artist's exhibition "Meteoro" at the Secession in Vienna.  

In May, she also presented the paper "A New Rural Cinema: Curating Experimental Communal Forms" at the Politics of Curatorship conference, held at the School of the Arts, Católica University in Porto, Portugal. 

In June, she traveled to London to research the role of artists and filmmakers in protests against the demolition of homes and green spaces to build the M11 Link Road in East London in the early 1990s. She presented her findings in the paper, "Protest, Play, and a Cinema of the Commons" at the Screen Studies conference in Glasgow.
