[ecrea] MeCCSA 2019 Conference

We are happy to announce that MeCCSA 2019 Conference registration is now 
open. The conference will be hosted by the University of Stirling, 
Scotland from 9-11 January 2019. To register, please follow the link: 
https://www.stir.ac.uk/about/faculties-and-services/arts-humanities/news-events/conferences/meccsa-2019/registration/(early 
bird rates are available until 5 November).

The theme of the MeCCSA 2019 Conference is Continuity & Change – Media, 
Communications & Politics.  The theme is designed to address the role of 
traditional and digital media and communications in maintaining 
continuity and advocating for political change, whilst also speaking to 
specific anniversaries significant to Scotland, including the 20th 
anniversary of the Scottish Parliament.

We will have four excellent keynote speakers whose work addresses the 
theme of Continuity & Change from different perspectives and who we 
believe will stimulate interesting discussions: Dr Shohini Chaudhuri 
(University of Essex), Prof Hannu Nieminen (University of Helsinki), 
Prof Philip Schlesinger (University of Glasgow) and Dr Leshu Torchin 
(University of St Andrews).

In addition, we will host four intriguing roundtables with prominent 
speakers from academia and practice on the topics of Media and Nations 
in Transition; Women in Media and Politics; Screen, Production and Media 
in Scotland; and ‘Poachers and Gamekeepers’ - The Intersections of 
Journalism and Public Relations.

The conference will offer a range of formal and informal social events 
and networking opportunities related to the conference theme and in a 
true spirit of Scotland, including a visit to the local landmarks, 
tasting Scottish delicacies and experiencing Scottish Ceilidh dancing.
