corporate governance

historical theories and interpretations to the history of PR; 
alternative and unheard histories and herstories; archaeological 
methodologies and theoretical analyses

relations as a discipline (This can also include challenges to the 
“Great Man” or “Great Woman” approach)

(companies, associations, political organisations, NGOs, etc.)

· History of PR instruments (press releases, press conferences, 
campaigns, social media, etc.)

basis of culture (personal networks and influence) or via definitions of 
public relations

· The evolving naming of the field from propaganda and press agentry to 
corporate and strategic communications

consultancy, education, health, and politics)

· The public relations of dissent and activism; historical analysis of 
public relations in activist and non-profit campaigns

· The evolution of public relations theory(ies) over time; the history 
of schools of thinking in public relations

· The formation of industry and professional bodies and their impact on 
public relations practice and education; professionalisation of public 
relations
