leading association in the study and research of politics. The Media & 
Politics Group is one of the Political Studies Association's largest

Minority Voices, Media and Politics
The primary theme of this year's conference will be ‘Minority Voices, 
Media and Politics’ - the often problematic relationship between the 
media, politics and marginalised, silenced or minority voices in 
contemporary society. The conference will take a broad approach to this 
topic, and encourages papers which approach this subject from different 
disciplinary, methodological, historical and national perspectives, and 
which examine the impacts of contemporary media (both new and 
traditional forms) upon practices and concepts of exclusion and power. 
It is the intention of the conference organisers to invite selected 
papers from the conference as contributions to an edited collection on 
this topic. If you would like to be considered for this please indicate 
as such on your abstract.

The Media & Politics Group operates an inclusive policy, and papers 
dealing with any aspect of media and politics are welcomed. This may 
include areas of political communication and journalism, but also 
includes a broader view of the political within such areas as online 
media, television, cinema and media arts, both factual and fictional. In 
addition to academic research, the conference will also welcome 
practice-based work related to the area of media and politics.

Abstract submission
Proposals should include the following: title and name, institutional 
affiliation and address, and email address; together with, a paper title 
and abstract of not more than 300 words. Proposers should also indicate 
whether or not they are postgraduate students.
