[Commlist] IAMHIST Conference 2022 'Conflict Resolution and the Media'

This is just a reminder that the deadline to submit your proposal to be 
considered for IAMHIST's 2022 conference on the theme 'Conflict 
Resolution and the Media' is 25 January.

Organised by Professor Tobias Hochscherf, the conference will be hosted 
in-person at Kiel University of Applied Sciences (Kiel, Germany) between 
12 and 14 July 2022.

Details:

The conference theme this year isCONFLICT RESOLUTION AND THE MEDIA. 
Scholars of media history, more other than not, have looked at the role 
of media in times of conflict, revolution, war, crisis, social and 
political upheaval. Yet, media has also played a decisive role in 
processes of conflict resolution. As such, media in one way or another 
affected nation building processes, the fight for civil rights, 
equalities, the reconciliation of former enemies, the democratisation of 
totalitarian states and peacekeeping missions around the world. Examples 
include European integration after the Cold War, the end of Apartheid in 
South Africa, democratisation processes after military dictatorships in 
South America or the empowerment of minorities.

The conference invites academics and practitioners from all relevant 
disciplines to take part in a timely conversation about the historical 
role of media in conflict and conflict resolution, from the film and 
broadcasting industries and the press, to new media, social media and 
advertising. In addition to presentations, the conference will include 
film screenings, events geared towards PhD and early-career scholars, 
social events, and a roundtable on the subject of the conference.

Proposals are welcome on, but not limited to, the following topics:

  * Media representations and examples of conflict resolution,
    consolation and reconciliation processes
  * Media reception and its positive impact upon social coexistence and
    the integration of society
  * The role of alternative or oppositional media and the challenging of
    power, injustice and inequality
  * Examples of how media circumvented censorship, regulation and offence
  * Media education and learning initiatives
  * The role of public service broadcasting in sustaining citizenship
    and civil society
  * Case studies of how media content has stimulated creativity and
    cultural excellence
  * The role of soft power: how media helped improving international
    relations through the means of public diplomacy and intervention
