Media policy in a time of global crises and geo-political (re)ordering

The 2025 Oxford Media Policy Summer Institute comes at a critical
moment.  Today’s international system faces unprecedented challenges
including fragmentation and new modes of ordering with significant
implications for media and communications technologies.  The future of
media development is uncertain, fact-checking and content moderation
efforts are being undermined, and inequalities are deepening.  Join us
in Oxford for two weeks as we engage speakers and participants from
around the world to debate rapidly changing current events.  From the
politics of AI policymaking across the global south, to the approach
of Big Tech- from the US to China- towards global markets, and the
erosion of ethics and responsibility in AI, we will also explore
efforts of resistance emerging from Africa and alternative ways of
fostering inclusion and reimagining a shared future.  In the context
of continuing global conflicts and intersected crises, we will also
explore some of the ideological underpinnings that appear to be
infusing some of the sweeping shifts we are witnessing, including
questions around the role of the state, law (or non-law), and values.

Our approach is decidedly global, with an emphasis on the global
south.  We will also use our vantage point from the UK to discuss
leading issues in the EU and engage with local actors, including
Ofcom, the BBC, and the European Commission.  As with Summer
Institutes in the past, we will have speakers from across Oxford and
prominent guests from policy, government and the private sector. One
of the most exciting aspects of the Summer Institute is the vibrant
and engaged group of participants and the lasting networks of
solidarity and collaboration created.

For over two decades, the Oxford Media Policy Summer Institute has
built a dynamic cohort of alumni worldwide. It promises to be an
engaging and vibrant two weeks, with the opportunity to reflect, step
back from your work, and engage with new perspectives and ideas from
around the world. Join us during these unprecedented times to discuss
pressing issues of global media policy over breakfast, during
seminars, and on long walks through the Oxford countryside!
