>local, national or comparative perspectives in areas such as:
>* radio and communities
>* radio history
>* indigenous radio
>* radio pedagogy
>* radio in the Asian and Pacific regions
>* African radio

>The cultural impacts of radio broadcasting, and the continuing social and 
>political importance of radio almost all over the world, are important and 
>under-researched areas. Studies of radio - long neglected in the era of 
>television - have been reinvigorated in many nations.
>
>The Radio Studies Network, formed in Britain in 1998 to encourage critical 
>study and research and improve the academic and cultural status of radio, 
>held an international conference, 'Radiodyssey' in 2001. In parallel, the 
>"Radiocracy" conferences  (Cardiff, 1999 and Durban, 2002) widened the 
>international circle, and in 2003 the Radio Conference: a transnational 
>forum at the University of Madison, Wisconsin, supported by RSN, brought 
>participants together from all over the world. In 2004, IREN, a radio 
>research network, was initiated in EU countries and, that summer, helped 
>organise the University of Siena's Radio Summer School.
>
>The Radio Conference 2005 in Melbourne will continue this movement toward 
>a critical appreciation of radio. Australia's position in the south, 
>adjacent to Asia and the Pacific, should assist in achieving broad 
>cultural participation in the conference.
>
>The conference will provide an international forum that aims to:
>1. strengthen international links between participants; and
>2. continue in Australia, New Zealand and the Pacific, the processes of 
>building co-operative networks between radio practitioners and 
>humanities-based scholars of radio history and theory.
>
>The Radio Conference 2005 is organized by staff at Melbourne, RMIT, La 
>Trobe and Deakin Universities as a co-operative project.
>
>The conference will be held at Storey Hall, RMIT University with special 
>sessions at the University of Melbourne and La Trobe University.
>
>Registrations including earlybird discount will be open from November 2004.
