*Call for Proposals *

“Communication, Disinformation and the Media”

Association for the Advancement of Baltic Studies Conference 2018

Stanford University, USA, June 1-3, 2018

The Communication, Disinformation, and the Media division of the 2018 
AABS conference seeks individual, panel and roundtable submissions 
featuring original research on /all /areas of journalism, mass media, 
and related subjects in the Baltic states. We are particularly 
interested in the following.

Work that can contribute to the investigation of similarity and 
difference in the development of media across the Baltic states and 
communities therein;

Contemporary issues of wide concern such as “fake news,” “information 
war,” and media policies;

The role of media in securing the independence and reestablishment of 
independence of the Baltic states;

Media as part of the establishment, maintenance, and contestation of 
identity and community in the Baltic states, especially with reference 
to media content;

Issues of democracy and journalism practice.

Historical perspectives of press freedom in the Baltics.

Unlike discipline-specific events, the AABS conference provides a 
special forum wherein presenters face an audience knowledgeable both in 
their field and the region, enabling strong opportunities for feedback, 
discussion, and collaboration. The conference coincides with two 
significant anniversaries—100 years since the Baltic states declared 
independence and 50 years since the establishment of AABS—and is located 
at one of the top US universities. Join us for this special occasion and 
show how communication scholars can respond to key issues and questions 
that enable a greater understanding of the Baltic states.

The deadline for submissions is October 15, 2017.
Paper proposals can be submitted via the conference website:
