“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: http://aabs2018.stanford.edu/cfp <http://aabs2018.stanford.edu/cfp>
