Biography :
Meghan Romano is a Ph.D Candidate at the Cinema Studies Institute. Meghan’s research interests lie at the intersection of film history and theory. Her proposed dissertation topic investigates how media and infrastructure and media as infrastructure in Newfoundland and Labrador construct it as a midway or nodal point in global connectivity through an aesthetic of in-betweenness, which she conceptualizes as “midway modernism.”
