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 invite applications to the 18th annual Annenberg-Oxford Media
Policy Summer Institute, to be held from Monday, June 27 to Friday, July
8, 2016 at the University of Oxford.

For seventeen years, the Institute has brought together top early career
communications scholars, media lawyers and regulators, internet
governance experts, and freedom of expression and human rights activists
from countries around the world to discuss the effects of technology and
policy from a global and multidisciplinary perspective. The Summer
Institute provides participants with an intensive two week
interdisciplinary curriculum that combines expert instruction from media
policymakers and scholars with hands-on activities such as stakeholder
mapping, policy analysis, group case studies, and participant presentations.

The 2016 Annenberg-Oxford Summer Institute seeks applicants whose
research or work is related to the relationship between international
media laws and national jurisdictions, online censorship and
surveillance, the role of the media in political change and conflict,
strategic communications and propaganda, online extremism and social
media, and global internet governance processes. Applications are
welcomed from students studying communications, sociology, political
science, international relations, area studies, anthropology,
information studies, and  related disciplines. Practitioners working in
media, law, policy, regulation, and technology are also encouraged to
apply.

Preparing, motivating, and supporting students and practitioners who
aspire to pursue a career in media policy, the Annenberg-Oxford
Institute endeavors to broaden and expand the pool of talented young
scholars engaged in media studies and to connect these individuals to
elite scholars and practitioners from around the world. The Institute's
alumni are a vibrant group who continue to engage in the program,
collaborate through network ties, and have become leaders at the top
national and international nonprofits, advocacy organizations,
government agencies, corporations, and academic institutions. Recent
past Institutes have included participants from India, Kenya, Brazil,
the Philippines, Jordan, Turkey, Pakistan, China, Italy, Israel,
Colombia, Iran, Myanmar, South Sudan, and Nigeria.
