[ecrea] Call for applications: 2013 Annenberg-Oxford Summer Institute on Global Media Policy

The Center for Global Communication Studies at the Annenberg School for 
Communication, University of Pennsylvania and the Programme for 
Comparative Media Law and Policy at the University of Oxford (PCMLP) are 
pleased to invite applications to the 15th annual Annenberg-Oxford Media 
Policy Summer Institute, to be held from Monday, June 24 to Friday, July 
5, 2013 at the University of Oxford.

The annual summer institute brings together young scholars and 
regulators for two weeks to discuss important recent trends in 
technology, international politics and development and its influence on 
media policy. Participants come from around the world; countries 
represented at previous summer institutes include Myanmar, Bosnia and 
Herzegonia, Iran, Kenya, China, Brazil, Egypt, Nigeria, Jordan, Italy, 
Iran, Colombia, El Salvador, among others.

This year the summer institute seeks, as part of the cohort, researchers 
and academics (PhD candidates and early career academics, for example), 
who will come with a research project related to the general subject of 
the seminar. We welcome applications from emerging scholars and 
practitioners working on topics such as media and democracy, public 
service broadcasting, Internet policy and politics, monitoring and 
evaluation of media development programs, the media’s role in conflict 
and post-conflict environments, strategic communications, as well as 
other topics.

The seminars this year will focus on media governance in key regional 
areas as well as strategic communication in conflict and post-conflict 
and transitional environments. Sessions will cover global media policy 
issues such as media and economic/social development, freedom of 
information, internet regulation, censorship issues and convergence. 
Part of the course will be devoted to new developments in comparative 
approaches to regulation, looking at Ofcom in the UK and other agencies, 
including examples from the Middle East, Africa and Asia.

The seminar brings together a wide range of participants from around the 
globe and provides them with an environment in which significant policy 
issues are seriously discussed. The richness of the experience comes 
from exposure to a variety of speakers and from the discussions among 
participants themselves.
