The George Gerbner Conference on Communication, Conflict, and Aggression

May 30-31, 2014 in Budapest, Hungary



Inspired by the life and work of Budapest native and renowned 
Communication and Media scholar Dr. George Gerbner (1919-2005), the 
Budapest College of Communication and Business invites scholars, 
researchers, practitioners, students, and other interested parties to 
submit paper and panel proposals for presentation at the George Gerbner 
Conference on Communication, Conflict, and Aggression. This conference 
will take place from Friday, May 30 to Saturday, May 31, 2014 in 
Budapest, Hungary. The goal of the conference is to bring together 
individuals with a common interest in aggressive communication, 
antisocial behavior, and conflict so as to foster international 
relationships that lead to research collaboration and knowledge 
exchange. The inaugural Gerbner Conference, held in May 2010, and the 
subsequent conferences in 2012 and 2013, featured presentations by 
scholars from 14 countries over 4 continents.



This international conference will focus on aggressive communication and 
behavior, conflict, and other types of antisocial communication and 
behavior across contexts. Specific topics include, but are not limited 
to: media violence, media coverage of crime and violence, violence in 
advertising, political violence, workplace violence and aggression, 
unethical leadership, aggression in instructional settings, war 
rhetoric, peace and conflict communication, verbal aggression, crime, 
oppression, injustice, incivility, assertiveness, argumentativeness, 
disagreement, bullying, indirect aggression, psychological abuse, anger, 
frustration, hostility, deception, child abuse, spousal abuse, domestic 
violence, youth violence, school violence, gang violence, sexual 
violence, discrimination, conflict styles, conflict resolution, the 
origins, causes, and predictors of aggression, and the management and 
prevention of aggression.

200 to 500 words describing their individual presentation or panel idea
