[Commlist] Call for Papers: Communication, Conflict and Peace

  Communication, Conflict and Peace

Online International Conference organized by the Archbishop Desmond Tutu 
Centre for War and Peace Studies Liverpool Hope University, Hope Park 
Campus, 27th June 2022

Global transformations fostered by the decentralization of 
communications from mainstream media and governance institutions to a 
plural range of socioeconomic actors and stakeholders have shaken the 
foundations of social consensus, truth and objectivity in the 
construction of public spheres. Such transformation has posed 
unprecedented challenges to conflict management and peacebuilding, 
multiplying risks of instability and war, but also the spaces for the 
construction of collective meanings and the voices shaping them.

As the international community struggles to find consensus and 
challenges to peace and security risks multiply, the aim of this event 
is to explore the relationship between communication broadly conceived, 
and the challenges and possibilities for peace. We will receive papers 
from scholars, practitioners and activists on all the dimensions of 
communication and conflict including, among others:

  * Dynamics of miscommunication, propaganda and persuasion
  * Historical and contemporary perspectives
  * The role of communication technologies, formats (speed, scope, use)
  * The role of communication and media in prevention, management of
    conflict
  * Communication, Human Rights and International Humanitarian Law
  * Public Diplomacy
  * Documentation and representation of war, conflict and peace in a
    variety of formats including photography, film, radio, TV,
    magazines, social media, videogames, etc.
  * News media, journalism in conflict and peace
  * The role of representation and language in conflict and peacebuilding

Please send abstracts of maximum 300 words (word format) for 
presentations lasting no more than 20 minutes, together with a maximum 
of 5 keywords and a biography of 150 words including name, title, 
institutional affiliation, contact information and technical 
requirements where applicable to (tutu /at/ hope.ac.uk) 
<mailto:(tutu /at/ hope.ac.uk)> by *April 1, 2022*.

Registration free of charge for the Conference will open soon after the 
call for papers have been closed.
