[ecrea] CFP: Voices of Resistance

Invitation & Call For Abstracts
‘Voices of Resistance’: Communication and Social Justice
Communication Graduate Research and Discourse Conference 2013



The Pennsylvania State University, March 16, 2013


For decades, protesters, academics and activists have called for action 
via media to raise awareness about the various
issues that plague the world’s population. The Comm GRAD Forum (CGF) 
seeks submissions regarding any work on any aspect of media, social 
justice and activism. This conference hopes to highlight how theory 
meets practice in scholarship that addresses the relationship between 
communications and social justice.

Keynote speaker Dr. Robert Jensen from University of Texas, Austin, and 
hip hop artist/activist Jasiri X and artist/activist Paradise Gray will 
be joining the conversation.

We encourage graduate and undergraduate students, and faculty from all 
disciplines to share papers, proposals,
reviews, critiques, ideas, and projects that address and question social 
justice issues, including but not limited to:

· Issues of Media Representation *
· Rhetoric
· Economic Inequality
· Racial discrimination
· Gender disparities
· Political and Cultural oppression
· Environmentalism
· Classism
· Sexuality
· Human rights
· Education
· Ethnicity and religion
If you are interested in having your work considered for this 
conference, please submit an abstract of no more than

300 words to (commgradconference /at/ gmail.com) by January 20, 2013. We also 
welcome submissions of complete sessions of 3-4 papers on a common 
theme, panel discussions, or other formats.
