CFP: How has your research on media and communication changed in the 
Covid-19 era?

We have extended the deadline for applications for free 
online conference Media (&) Life After/During Covid-19 Pandemic 
2020 by 27.09.20

We look forward to your presentations on how the implementation of your 
media and communication research projects during the pandemic has 
changed; what projects you have started in connection with the epidemic; 
and what other research challenges you have had to face due to this 
unusual situation. Do not hesitate to share your insights and 
reflections. We look forward to hearing from you!

Call for presentations:

Academia Europaea Wroclaw Knowledge Hub

Maria Curie-Skłodowska University in Lublin, Institute of Social 
Communication and Media Science

University of Wroclaw, Institute of International Studies

invite for submissions to the

Session 2: Presentation of media and communication research projects

during the

Conference Media (&) Life After/During Covid-19 Pandemic

which will be held online

on 26 October 2020.

In view of the situation in which researchers found themselves almost 
all over the world - cancellation of many academic events and, at the 
same time, the new challenges posed by the academy and the current 
epidemic - we decided to meet the current needs and invite media and 
communication researchers to participate in the discussion on the 
present and future of communication and media studies in the face of the 
pandemic.

We would like to ask important questions and start a discussion on 
topics that are dynamically emerging. Among them there are questions 
such as: What are the biggest challenges in research in the field of 
media and communication studies posed by the current pandemic? What will 
it probably bring? What has already changed in our studies, projects and 
research practice? Which important topics are emerging in media and 
communication studies in relation to the pandemic and its consequences? 
What kind of ethical challenges and dilemmas will we face? In media and 
communication studies, as in science: can we expect a change in the 
distribution model of research results, e.g. growing role of the 
publications outside the peer review model and a long-term publishing 
process? Are application projects - constructed ad hoc for the so-called 
social good - becoming more important now than ever? What are the other 
changes that have already taken place and/or should take place, and how 
should we possibly direct them?

The conference will consist of two parts: Session 1: Experts debate and 
Session 2: Presentation of media and communication research projects.

Session 1: Experts debate

The first part will be devoted to speeches and discussions of experts on 
the following topics:

·      Kirsten Drotner, University of Southern Denmark, Welfarist media 
studies: why, why now?

·      Göran Bolin, Södertörn University, Datafication and educational 
value in a post-Covid19 world

·      Veronika Kalmus, University of Tartu, "Jobs that really matter": 
Some reflections on changes in science

·      Nevena Dakovic, University of the Arts in Belgrade, Mediating and 
Communicating Crisis: C19 Pandemic or infodemic?

·      Fausto Colombo, Catholic University of the Sacred 
Heart, Infodemic, pandemic, and Covid-19: an ecological approach

·      Leopoldina Fortunati, University of Udine, How a research project 
had to be reformulated because of COVID19. A narrative on the design and 
methodological changes intervened in a research project during the emergency

·      Heidi Vandebosch, University of Antwerp, Studying people's media 
use during COVID-19 and lockdown times: Opportunities and challenges

·      Helena Bilandzic, Universität Augsburg, The role of media in the 
pandemic: How citizens seek and avoid, trust and mistrust media 
information in a health crisis

Session 2: Presentation of media and communication research projects

The second part of the conference will be devoted to the presentation of 
specific research projects in the field of communication and media 
studies, which concern a pandemic or which are implemented in spite of 
an ongoing pandemic, but which address the challenge of adapting to 
changing conditions. We would also like to look at theoretical, 
methodological, technical and ethical challenges faced by media and 
communication researchers in their current research projects as well as 
at results of the research, including the preliminary ones, which have 
been managed to develop during this difficult time.
