*When dialogue is more than a buzzword:*

*Tackling the complexities of dialogic knowledge production and 
communication*

*Department of Communication, Business and Information Technologies, 
Roskilde University, Denmark, Friday 26 August 2011, 10.00-16.00, Room 
41.1.*


The conference takes its starting-point in the so-called dialogic turn 
in the production and communication of knowledge whereby communication 
is conceived as a dialogue among participants rather than a one-way flow 
of knowledge to a less knowledgeable target group. The purpose of the 
conference is to further our understanding of the complexities and 
dilemmas of "walking the talk" of dialogue in collaborative knowledge 
production and communication. It is designed to build bridges across 
theory and practice by bringing research on dialogue into dialogue with 
practices, with a view to enriching both. The format will be a 
combination of presentations and workshop activities in groups, in which 
we will draw on theories and concepts of dialogue across the traditions 
of Dialogic Communication Theory, Science and Technology Studies and 
Action Research.


The conference is organised and funded by the NordForsk Network for the 
Study of the Dialogic Communication of Research (www.dialogue.ruc.dk 
<http://www.dialogue.ruc.dk>).It is free of charge, and all those who 
are interested are welcome to participate. If you would like to 
participate, please register by email to Louise Phillips
