[ecrea] ICA Journalism Division call for papers - preconference

CFP


Submission deadline for abstracts: January 7, 2018


The Journalism Studies Graduate Student Colloquium joins PhD candidates 
working on journalism research with experienced scholars in the field. 
Part of the Journalism Studies Division’s commitment to academic 
mentorship, the Colloquium will be held as preconference in conjunction 
with the 2018 Annual Conference of the International Communication 
Association in Prague, Czech Republic. The Colloquium aims to contribute 
actively to the professional development of young scholars by giving 
them an opportunity to present and discuss their research in a 
constructive -- and international -- atmosphere. Participating graduate 
students will receive project-specific feedback from recognized experts 
in the field, as well as general career development advice from a panel 
of scholars. The Colloquium will thus provide the opportunity to meet 
experts as well as fellow PhD candidates from around the world working 
on related topics.


The Colloquium will be based on thesis-related work submitted by the 
participant PhD candidates. During the Colloquium, students will be 
invited to present their work, after which they will receive feedback 
from an experienced scholar responding to her or his paper. In addition, 
the Colloquium will feature a panel related to professional development 
such as publishing in international journals and career strategies.


The Colloquium is open to PhD candidates working on all journalism 
topics, including theory, research, and professional education. We 
encourage submission of research that advances our understanding of how 
journalism works, either within your region of interest or comparatively 
across regions. Subject areas can include the inner mechanisms of 
journalisms past and present, the functioning of journalism within 
society or any of its institutions, hidden structural and cultural 
influences on journalism, the attitudes and characteristics of 
journalists themselves, the defining features of news content and their 
effects on consumers. Also of interest are the relationships between 
journalism and power, democratic/political standards, economic 
pressures, technological change, and (academic) critique.


Students should submit an abstract of 500 words that outlines the topic, 
rationale, theoretical approach and, if applicable, empirical 
application. Every abstract should include the name, affiliation, and 
expected graduation date of the PhD candidate. Questions and submissions 
should be sent via email to Natacha Yazbeck 
((natacha.yazbeck /at/ asc.upenn.edu) <mailto:(natacha.yazbeck /at/ asc.upenn.edu)>) 
no later than January 7, 2018. Notifications of acceptance will be sent 
February 7, 2018.


If accepted, student participants will need to submit a full paper of up 
to 8000 words by 10 April 2018. The colloquium will be held on 24 May 
2018 from 9 am to 4 pm, with a coffee break and light lunch.
