The George Gerbner Conference on Communication, Conflict, and Aggression

Budapest College of Communication, Business and Arts invites scholars, 
researchers, practitioners, students, and other interested parties to

research collaboration and knowledge exchange. The inaugural Gerbner

2012, featured presentations by scholars from eight countries covering 
three continents.

advertising, political violence, workplace violence and aggression, 
aggression in instructional settings, war rhetoric, peace and conflict 
communication, verbal aggression, crime, oppression, injustice, 
incivility, assertiveness, argumentativeness, disagreement, bullying,
