IAMCR welcomes the submission of proposals for its 2010 Conference to be held in Braga, Portugal, from 18-22 July 2010. The deadline for submission of abstracts has been extended for one week. The new deadline is Monday 8 February.
The general theme of the conference is 'Communication and Citizenship: Rethinking Crisis and Change' and it aims to interrogate emergent models of communication and to open up innovative debates on mechanisms for empowering citizenship and participation. Creative and alternative thinking on old and new dimensions of social participation is expected to shed light on contemporary uncertainties and deadlocks.
Focusing on the complex and changing relationships between communication and citizenship, IAMCR invites researchers from different latitudes, professional and cultural backgrounds, to develop research for and as citizens.
As a worldwide conference in the field of media and communication research, IAMCR is pleased to accept individual papers and panel proposals on different topics as well. More details are available from individual Sections, Working Groups and Emerging Themes.
