IAMCR Conference 2013, Dublin, Ireland, June 25-29, 2013





Call for papers




The MER - Media Education Research Section - warmly accepts paper 
submissions for the next IAMCR conference to be held at the Dublin City 
University, Dublin, Ireland, from 25 to 29 June, 2013. "Crises, 
'Creative Destruction' and the Global Power and Communication Orders" is 
the overarching theme proposed to participants, which may be taken into 
account, when deciding the paper to present. The proposals may involve 
both individual papers and collective panels.

The Dublin Conference is an opportunity to promote the critical 
dimension of our research work. It will therefore be appreciated that 
the proposals go beyond the descriptive dimension. Comparative studies, 
dialogic approaches and pluralistic methodologies are welcome. At the 
same time, media education opens interesting possibilities for 
interaction with other sections, so researchers are hereby encouraged to 
submit proposals both for thematic tables and joint initiatives with 
other sections.

Different topics are suggested to the papers, such as media education in 
relation to:

·      representations and coverage by media
·      digital divide and inclusion projects and results
·      experiences involving innovation and creativity
·      news literacy in times of crisis
·      media and information literacy (MIL) and curriculum developments
·      media literacy, media policies and regulation
·      media literacy education as a tool and field for intercultural 
communication
·      approaches, experiences and results regarding educators education
·      social networks, connectivity and creativity
·      pedagogical and cultural work in the field of intercultural 
communication
·      European and international policies regarding media literacy 
education
·      social and economic development dimensions of media and digital 
literacy

The abstracts should define objectives, theoretical framework and 
methodological approach, as well as possible contributions for the 
advancement of knowledge in the field. As a length measure, each 
submission should have the reference of 400 words. All abstract 
submissions must be made via the OCS at http://iamcr-ocs.org, from 15 
November 2012 to 28 January, 2013 (deadline). Early submission is 
strongly encouraged.

Take into account this overall IAMCR guideline: individuals may submit 1 
abstract (paper) per Section or Working Group as lead author, and a 
maximum of 2 abstracts (papers) to a single IAMCR conference in general. 
Presenters are expected to bring fully developed work to the conference. 
Prior to the conference, it is expected that a completed paper will be 
submitted to Section, Working Group, Session Chairs, and/or Discussants.
Decisions on acceptance of abstracts will be communicated to applicants 
no later than 28 February 2013.

Submission of completed papers via IAMCR Open Conference System (OCS) 
<http://iamcr-ocs.org> no later than May 28, 2013.

We strongly recommend you share this call for papers among researchers 
who you think may be interested in participating in the conference and 
to engage in the activities of the section and IAMCR.
