[Commlist] Call for Abstracts: Media Law & Policy Scholars Conference

  MLPSC 2022: Call for Abstracts

We invite you to submit an abstract for the Media Law & Policy Scholars 
Conference (MLPSC 2021), which will take place online on January 13 & 
14, 2022.

MLPSC is not like other big conferences you may normally attend. It is 
an interdisciplinary, paper workshop. The goal is to provide advice and 
support for works-in-progress – to deepen their intellectual and 
theoretical impact. We interpret media law and policy broadly, welcoming 
scholars from around the world who study free speech, free press, access 
to information, intellectual property, data privacy, emerging 
technologies and other related law and policy issues from a variety of 
theoretical perspectives and methodologies. Our goal is to include 
scholars and practitioners from law, journalism & communication, 
philosophy, political science, information systems, sociology, history, 
business and myriad other disciplines.

The MLPSC format pays tribute to the intellectually engaging and 
rewarding experiences we have had at conferences like We Robot, Privacy 
Law Scholars Conference and the Law & Society Association. At MLPSC, 
authors do not present their papers. A discussant introduces and leads 
discussion on the paper. Everyone responds in a dialogue about the work. 
We don’t convene panels or have other “talking head” sessions – everyone 
gets to contribute to a robust and intellectually engaging conversation 
intended to help authors move their papers forward and to spur research 
ideas and questions for further study.

*SUBMITTING AN ABSTRACT*

Should you wish to have your paper considered for workshopping, please 
submit an abstract of no more than 1000 words, including a title, by 
Sept. 3, 2021. In addition please submit a separate cover sheet with 
your name, title, affiliation and contact information. You should submit 
your abstract as a Microsoft Word file so that we can ensure blind peer 
review. We will announce accepted abstracts on September 20, 2021.
