[Commlist] CFP: 31st edition of International Public Relations Research Symposium (BledCom)

Fri Jan 05 17:18:36 GMT 2024




*BledCom 2024: Abstract Submission Deadline is February 5!*

*The 31st edition of International Public Relations Research Symposium (BledCom) will be held on July 5 & July 6, 202**4, **Lake Bled - Slovenia. The main theme of the jubilee 31st conference is Public Relations and Human Well-being. *

**

When viewed from the prism of human well-being, our definition of, and orientation to, publics will invariably become broader and more holistic than it has been for almost five decades of public relations scholarship. A more holistic view of audiences will also include the well-being of the underprivileged and vulnerable groups of a society such as children, migrants, minority groups, and those disadvantaged economically and socially. For these and many similar reasons, mindfulness as a strategy for well-being has received a lot of attention lately helped by initiatives such as the International Day of Yoga suggested by Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi and adopted by the United Nations in 2014. This theme certainly has the potential to broaden the horizons of our field and thus contribute to better its reputation as well.

Please note that the chances of your abstract being accepted are enhanced if you observe the following format in preparing it: _Introduction and purpose of the study_ (and research question if there is one) – helps summarize the purpose and rationale of your study. _Literature review_ – Helps place your work in context with the existing body of knowledge. Methodology – Define the main method used for gathering data including sample size, and state the rationale for using this method. _Results and conclusions_ – Helps summarize the answers to the research questions while also outlining the implications of the results. Summarize the limitations of the study and offer suggestions for future research. _Practical and social implications_ – Offer the potential implications both for practice and society. Also provide us with _3 to 5 keywords_ that highlight your study. Abstracts should come as blind copies without author names and affiliations, who are to be identified on on a separate cover page. Please use the suggested headings to structure the abstract. A list of literature is not necessary, but if it is provided it is included into the word count.

BledCom invites *abstracts that are between 500 and 800 words *(including title and keywords) with up to 5 references. We welcome ALL papers that are relevant to public relations and communication management and not just papers that discuss the conference theme. We also welcome panel proposals. Please submit paper abstracts and panel proposals via email to *(bledcom /at/ fdv.uni-lj.si) <mailto:(bledcom /at/ fdv.uni-lj.si)>* by *February 5, 2024 (Midnight CET)*.

Decisions will be made by March 4, 2024 after peer review. Full papers not exceeding 6.000 words will be due by September 21, 2024 for inclusion in the conference proceedings.
