[ecrea] Summer school on comparative qualitative research on journalism and news media

The Reuters Institute for the Study of Journalism is hosting a summer 
school on comparative qualitative research on journalism and news media 
11-12 September 2017 in Oxford.

The program will combine seminars led by Oxford-based researchers 
including Lucas Graves, Annika Sehl, and Rasmus Kleis Nielsen with 
workshop discussions of work-in-progress from the participants.

The aim is to:

1. Significantly advance our shared understanding of the methodological 
issues involved in advancing genuinely comparative and 
internationally-oriented qualitative research on journalism and news media,

2. Explicitly engage with theoretical discussions that can help 
structure such work and clarify its contribution (beyond describing 
interesting and sometimes intrinsically important cases), most notably 
recent work drawing on institutional theory and science and technology 
studies.

3. Help the participants think about their own individual research as 
contributing to a collective and cumulative attempt to understand the 
evolution of news and journalism, and to identify potential 
collaborators for cross-country studies.

The summer school is for advanced doctoral students and early career 
researchers, who can apply to take part by sending an abstract of no 
more than 500 words outlining the central research question, empirical 
basis, and driving hypotheses and intellectual stakes of the work that 
they would like to present to Philippa Garson at 
(philippa.garson /at/ politics.ox.ac.uk) 
<mailto:(philippa.garson /at/ politics.ox.ac.uk)> no later than May 31.
