[Commlist] CfP: Diaspora, Media and Migration Young Scholars Workshop

This year’s DMM young scholars’ workshop welcomes acclaimed scholars 
Prof. dr. Myria Georgiou (London School of Economics and Political 
Science) and Dr. Donya Alinejad (Utrecht University) at Vrije 
Universiteit Brussel as part of the Digital Fortress Europe Conference 
(www.ecreadmm.com <http://www.ecreadmm.com>).

We all know that it is a difficult task to identify, validate and 
present our main findings and contribution of our research projects as 
young scholars in the field. Considering the interdisciplinary nature of 
our field as well as the continuously changing landscape of media and 
communication technologies, it is crucial for us young researchers to 
situate our doctoral projects within academic literature and research. 
This is the reason why this year’s young scholar workshop aims to help 
ten doctoral researchers who work on the intersections of diaspora, 
media and migration to find their own voice and make sure that it is heard.

Our one-day long workshop is divided into two parts:

  * Morning session:  Each participant will be given the opportunity to
    present their research project and get feedback. Considering the
    theme of the workshop, the presentations are expected to focus on
    the main findings and respective theoretical and methodological claims.
  * Afternoon session: The afternoon session involves several group
    activities which will focus on the most effective ways to address
    limitations of your research, to present your findings/analysis and
    to think together about the ways in which the research projects are
    relevant and distinctive.
The application process:

It is required that the applicants submit a summary of their research 
project (between 1500 and  2000 words) by 18 March 2019 to the e-mail 
address (M.Mevsimler /at/ uu.nl) <mailto:(M.Mevsimler /at/ uu.nl)>.  Summaries should 
include:

1.An introduction which includes your research topic and research 
question(s)

2.A brief literature review with your  mains theories/concepts

3.Methodology

4.Your main findings and how these are expected to contribute 
theoretically, conceptually and/or methodologically

5.Questions/concerns you would like to discuss

6.Full name of the author, institutional and departmental affiliation

* The PhD workshop is organized by the European Communication Research & 
Education Association’s (ECREA) Diaspora, Migration & the Media (DMM) 
section in collaboration with the ECREA’s International & Intercultural 
Communication (IIC) section. The workshop is organized as part of the
