Deadline extended to January 2nd, 2019

The 25th International Conference of the International Association for 
Intercultural Communication Studies
East/West: New Divisions, New Connections in a Populist Political Reality

Masaryk University, Brno, Czech Republic
July 12–15, 2019
***

We would like to inform you that the deadline for abstract submission to 
the upcoming IAICS conference has been extended to January 2nd, 2019. 
Due to many requests for an extension of the deadline the organizers 
have agreed to extend the deadline for submission. This is a firm 
deadline and there will be no further extension.

Proposals might include:
* How do cultural and communication scholars understand the shifting 
discourses around the “West” and its “Others”?
* How have – fictional and non-fictional – representations of the 
relationship between the "West" and "Others" evolved?
* How have the centre and the periphery been re-defined, re-imagined and 
re-negotiated?
* What is the role of communication technologies in building 
connections/divisions in the current climate?
* How have major policy interventions – such as China’s Belt and Road 
Initiative – affected intercultural divisions/connections?
* How relevant are theories of communication/cultural integration 
developed in Western liberal democracies for understanding current 
developments?
* What are the most challenging issues that scholars of intercultural 
communication face at the moment?
* Are there historical lessons that can inform our understanding of the 
impact of technological change on intercultural communication and 
interaction?

Please send proposal abstracts for individual papers and posters (of no 
more than 500 words), clearly indicating whether the submission is for 
an individual paper or a poster and panels (of no more than 1,000 words) 
to the following email address:
