The Postcolonial, Communication and Social Justice: Decolonizing Imaginations conference takes place next week. The conference takes place in a Philadelphia suburb--Radnor-- where the beautiful Villanova University Conference Center is located.

This is the first international conference on the theme of Postcoloniality and Media/Communication. As a landmark and defining event for the interdisciplinary fields of media and communication studies the conference hopes to chart important pathways for research in the field.

Fifteen esteemed plenary speakers will also deliver addresses.

The conference will also feature a tribute (session) to (the late) Stuart Hall that will reflect on his contributions especially in light of the conference theme. The tribute will be offered by the three distinguished keynote speakers.
