[Commlist] Race and Media Conference 2026

We are delighted to share that the full programme is now live for the 
Race and Media Conference, taking place at the University of Leeds on 
22–23 April 2026.

Registration is open, with limited spaces remaining.

The conference brings together scholars, practitioners, and artists from 
across media, communication, cultural studies, sociology, and related 
fields to examine how race is produced, contested, and lived through 
contemporary media cultures. Across two days, the programme features 
panels, roundtables, and practice-based sessions addressing themes 
including (but not limited to):
– Race, racism, and the media industries
– Representation, visibility, and power
– Digital media, platforms, and algorithmic culture
– Creative labour, diversity, and inequality
– Global, diasporic, and postcolonial media formations
– Anti-racist, decolonial, and abolitionist approaches to media research 
and practice

With over 100 presenters and a strongly international line-up, the 
conference aims to foster critical, interdisciplinary, and dialogic 
conversations about race and media in the current conjuncture.

Please note that registration is capped and places will be allocated on 
a first-come, first-served basis.
We would be very grateful if you could circulate this announcement to 
colleagues and networks who may be interested.
