The Center for Global Communication Studies at the Annenberg School for
Communication, University of Pennsylvania and the Programme for Comparative
Media Law and Policy at the University of Oxford (PCMLP) are pleased to
announce the 13th annual Annenberg-Oxford Media Policy Summer Institute, to be
held from July 4 - 15, 2011 at the University of Oxford.
The annual Summer Institute brings together young scholars and regulators to
discuss important recent trends in technology, international politics and
development and its influence on media policy. Students come from around the
world; countries represented at previous Summer Institutes include Jordan,
Italy, Thailand, Kenya, China, Brazil, Egypt, Nigeria and Russia, among
others.
This year the Summer Institute will also focus on media governance and
strategic communication in conflict and post-conflict environments including
Sudan, Somalia and Bosnia. At the same time, the successful curriculum that
has been the foundation of the Summer Institute over the years will continue,
with sessions covering topics such as media and economic/social development,
freedom of information, internet regulation and convergence. Part of the
course will be devoted to new developments in comparative approaches to
regulation, looking at Ofcom in the UK and other agencies, including examples
from the Middle East, Africa and Asia.
The seminar brings together a wide range of participants from around the globe
and provides them with an environment in which significant policy issues are
seriously discussed. The richness of the experience comes from exposure to a
variety of speakers and from the discussions among participants themselves.
