[Commlist] CFP: IAMCR Pre-Conference - The Ascent of Community and Activist Media

*Call for Papers - The Ascent of Community and Activist Media: 
Theorising the turn to counter-power media and communication*

This event is an IAMCR/ICA bridge conference, being both a 
post-conference event for the International Communication Association 
and a pre-conference for IAMCR. It will be held on 25 June at Griffith 
University Gold Coast Campus, Southport, Australia. Abstract submissions 
are due by *17:00 (AEST) 30 January, 2024.*

*Description*

/The Ascent of Community and Activist Media/ brings together scholars 
from the International Communication Association’s Interest Group in 
Activism, Communication and Social Change with colleagues from IAMCR’s 
Community Communication and Alternative Media Section. We invite 
scholars to consider the rise of ‘alternative’ forms of media and 
communication – including community, activist, radical and grassroots – 
in the context of a significant uplift in academic scholarship, coupled 
with the appearance of a plethora of new mastheads and initiatives in 
the digital age.
