*_About the theme_*

Media organisations are engaging in reflection about what it means to be 
diverse. What does it mean to give people from different communities an 
effective voice in the 21st century media? This has theoretical and 
methodological implications media education: where are diversity and 
voice to be located in terms of our study of producers, texts and 
audiences? Responding to these questions invites interdisciplinary, 
self-reflexive and practice-based research.

The organisers are particularly interested in presentations on these topics:

  * Defining, measuring, and evaluating diversity
  * Performativity and pedagogy
  * Inclusion, access and agency
  * National and institutional policy initiatives
  * Meeting diverse educational needs
  * Diversity and voice in practice

Submission of abstracts and registrations are now open on the conference 
site <https://www.cemp.ac.uk/summit/2020/>.
