IPCC 2023: In search of crossroads

Bringing together a variety of concepts, fields, methods, and ideas around broader topics, BİLGİ IPCC – Interdisciplinary PhD Communication Conference opts for further inclusivity in its fifth edition and points towards the intersections that bind seemingly disparate threads. Rather than fixed titles and definitions, the focus here is on a comprehensive interpretation of communication, technology, and experience, including their separate journeys and how they interact with each other. As a song made popular by collectively chanting football fans reminds us, if we walk with hope in our hearts, we would never walk alone. And as we walk towards the crossroads between communication, technology, and experience, our hope is to meet others who are ready to connect their journeys with ours.

Born out of the collective efforts of students, candidates, alumni, and teachers within the PhD in Communication programme at Istanbul Bilgi University, the IPCC prioritises bringing together scholars from various disciplines and at different stages in their careers. We, therefore, invite all PhD students or candidates as well as early-career researchers with PhDs earned in the last 5 years, who are interested in joining us at the crossroads of various fields of interest, in order to simultaneously learn from and teach fellow scholars.
IPCC: A history

‘Engaged pedagogy’, the term coined by bell hooks (1994), defines a journey. Much like most scholarly endeavours, this is a journey that begins in the classroom. Then again, unlike most scholarly endeavours, this is a journey that also spans beyond educational spaces. It encourages those who were once students to adopt reflective and critical perspectives that challenge conventional learning practices, transgressing the dichotomy of learner and teacher. As learners are empowered to move beyond the spatial confines of classrooms, a sense of mutual learning is born out of this fluid and interactive process.

Now let us imagine different starting points for this journey. Ready to take this journey are scholars from various fields within social sciences. They may not start moving at the same time, the roads they are on may not be equally long, and the interests behind pursuing this trail may not be similar. Still, they find themselves arriving at an intersection. This is a point where their respective journeys meet one another, a point that gives them the opportunity to continue moving together, a point where they can renegotiate their roles as learners and/or teachers through a framework of engaged pedagogy. This is a point of intersection where multiple scholarly endeavours cross one another without colliding, and it is right at this crossroads that the IPCC aims to position itself.
