[ecrea] CfP Transnational Journalism History Conference

Transnational Journalism History Conference
Montreal, June 1-2, 2018

Call for Papers

Deadline: February 1, 2018

The third annual conference on Transnational Journalism History is 
seeking papers that deal with any aspect of the history of journalism 
and mass communications that transcends national borders.

This year’s conference will be June 1-2, 2018, in Montreal, Quebec, 
Canada at Concordia University.

The conference is sponsored jointly by the journalism and mass 
communication programs at Concordia University, Dublin City University 
and Augusta University.
Conference planners have one book underway from the 2016 inaugural 
conference (presently in the proposal stage). The work deals with the 
Irish Diaspora press. As second book, tentatively titled A Handbook of 
Transnational Journalism History, is planned from the second and third 
conferences, and we have one publisher who has already expressed 
interest in receiving a proposal for this book.

For the 2018 conference, we are particularly looking for papers that 
offer definitions, methodologies, theories, and case studies of 
transnational journalism history. Papers should be able to be presented 
within 20 minutes, so around 10 to 15 pages. Papers of up to 25 pages, 
not including footnotes, will be accepted as well, but the presentation 
of the paper cannot exceed the 20-minute limit. Abstracts of 250 words 
are also accepted for research-in-progress.
Papers may be submitted in French, but presentations will need to be 
given in English.

Papers and abstracts should be submitted to Debbie van Tuyll 
((dvantuyl /at/ augusta.edu) <mailto:(dvantuyl /at/ augusta.edu)>) by February 1, 
2018. Submissions will be double-blind reviewed.

Work presented at this conference will be considered for publication in 
a Handbook of Transnational Journalism History. Any questions may be 
addressed to Debbie van Tuyll or Mark O’Brien ((mark.obrien /at/ dcu.ie) 
<mailto:(mark.obrien /at/ dcu.ie)>). This conference is sponsored by Concordia 
University (Montreal, Quebec); Dublin City Univeristy (Dublin, Ireland); 
Augusta University (Georgia); and the University of Groningen (Netherlands).
