- INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE: CALL FOR PAPERS -

TRANSFORMING AUDIENCES 2:
CREATIVITY / KNOWLEDGE / PARTICIPATION

3-4 September 2009
University of Westminster
in association with ECREA, ICA, and IAMCR

http://www.transformingaudiences.org.uk

The first Transforming Audiences conference, in September 2007, featured
over 100 presentations by audience researchers from around the world.
Transforming Audiences 2 signals its development as Europe's major recurring
international conference for audience/user studies.

There has never been a more exciting time for researchers interested in the
place of media in people's lives. The growth of diverse online offerings and
easy-to-use creative tools, coupled with the global economic downturn, has
made traditional media and conventional broadcasters increasingly
uncomfortable. Some critics are concerned about the future of 'quality'
media for audiences to enjoy, but others celebrate this flourishing of
non-elite, grassroots media.

Transforming Audiences 2 - organised by the Audiences Group at the
University of Westminster Communications and Media Research Institute, and
run in association with ICA, IAMCR, and ECREA - will present a rich and
fascinating set of analyses of the current situation and raise important
questions about the future. We strongly encourage papers from interesting
new scholars as well as more established researchers.

Invited speakers include Liz Bird, Nick Couldry, Natalie Fenton, Christine
Hine, Peter Lunt, and Shaun Moores.

Conference organised by David Gauntlett, Caroline Dover, Fatimah Awan and
Annette Hill.
