At a time of political and socio-cultural flux in Europe, and as we 
begin to enter times of what is commonly being called the “Internet of 
Things”, Audiences 2030 brings together researchers taking diverse 
approaches to researching audiences, to ask what needs (re)doing in the 
ways in which we research audiences, the ways in with we mobilise 
theory, and the extent to which we think of future challenges to a 
rapidly changing field. Audiences 2030 is the end-of-project conference 
for CEDAR - the Consortium on Emerging Directions in Audience Research 
(funded by the Arts and Humanities Research Council) and will see a 
highlight plenary from CEDAR launch the outcomes of its unique foresight 
exercise about the future of audience research in 2030. The conference 
will see keynote speeches from Sonia Livingstone, Martin Barker, Thomas 
Tufte and Klaus Bruhn Jensen. In our call for papers we are particularly 
keen to see a futuristic outlook - whatever project we speak from, we 
would like to see it contextualised in contemporary complexities 
(intellectual, socio-cultural, political), and geared towards future 
challenges. Topics in our CFP include but are not restricted to -

EU politics, democracy and media audiences
The Internet of Things: implications for audiences and institutions
Audiences' new literacies, capabilities and coping strategies with 
digital media
Contemporary political complexities and audience studies
Digital interfaces and their implications for 'audience' studies
Speaking to stakeholders in audience research
Race, class, gender and religion in audience studies
Youthful audiences
Invisible, marginalised and under researched audiences
Social action, movements and audiences
Co-option of audience labour
Audiences, media regulation and media policy
New forms of media engagement
The role of texts in contemporary audience research
Cross-media audiences
Methodological and theoretical innovations

For each of this (or indeed, other topics), we particularly welcome 
papers thinking about the future, including socio-political challenges, 
anticipated technological changes and implications for research. Our 
conference also includes a workshop or PhD students co-hosted by YECREA.

Please submit 250 word abstracts on 
https://goo.gl/forms/Slzg6hlJLyNWmNn93. The last date for submissions is 
30th March 2017. We plan to announce results by 15th May 2017.

Ranjana Das (Director, CEDAR), Brita Ytre-Arne (Co-Director, CEDAR),
