Free for further distribution: A report of the Round Table on ‘European Public Sphere and small nations: is there a critical role for academic intellectuals?’

Dear all,

In early June this year a group of media and communication scholars from small European countries gathered in Helsinki for a Round Table discussion on the theme ‘European Public Sphere and small nations: is there a critical role for academic intellectuals? The event was organized by the Communication Research Centre, Media and Communication Studies, University of Helsinki.

Although the Round Table did not end up with a clear agenda for further action, its discussions provided a number of good ideas and proposals for continuing the dialogue. To enhance this, the organizers prepared a report on the event, available at http://www.helsinki.fi/crc/Julkaisut/EPS-RoundTableReportJune2013.pdf. The report is free for further distribution.

The organizers wish that the report led to more discussions and activities around the Round Table themes. In this way, the report can facilitate for a wider ‘call for arms’ for critical debate on the academia – and not only debate but action too, as the Round Table concluded. All initiatives and proposals as to how to continue the discussion are more than welcome!

On behalf of the organizers,

Hannu
