for the conference 
(https://socialmediaandsociety.org/conference-fees-and-registration/ 
<https://socialmediaandsociety.org/conference-fees-and-registration/>). 
We are going to keep our registration costs low once again, as we think 
this encourages participation and helps a range of scholars come to the 
event.

Given the interdisciplinary design of the conference, we’re hoping it 
will appeal widely, so please do submit and promote it within your 
networks. Contact us at (ask /at/ socialmediaandsociety.org)
