[ecrea] cfp: Journalism, Diaspora and Conflict Resolution

Fri May 08 09:30:37 GMT 2015


Call for Papers
International Symposium
Organiser: Media of Diaspora Research Group (MDRG) at the University
of Lincoln, UK.
Date:   Friday 16 October, 2015
Conference Theme: Journalism, Diaspora and Conflict Resolution Keynote
Speakers: To be announced.
There are more people in diaspora around the world today due to
conflict than at any time since WW2. While there are many initiatives by governments and international organisations to engage, empower and enable diaspora communities for the benefit of the host countries and countries of origin, little attention has been devoted to the grassroots approach by the diasporic communities in contributing to, through the appropriation of new media technology, or to the diasporic media's role in fostering conflict resolution in their countries of origin.
This international symposium aims to examine the dynamics of
journalistic practices and diasporic experiences in fostering conflict resolution. Hence, we welcome papers on the theme of the conference including, but not limited to, the diasporic media organisation dimension of conflict resolution; the professional values dimension of conflict resolution; and the diaspora audience dimension of conflict resolution. We plan to develop the conference theme into an edited book.
In addition, there will be a panel and a roundtable discussion. The
panel on 'Journalism, Audiences and Diaspora' will launch the edited
book published in April, 2015 by Palgrave. Contributors will discuss
and answer questions about their chapters. Please find the link to the
book
http://www.palgrave.com/page/detail/journalism-audiences-and-diaspora-
ola-ogunyemi/?K=9781137457226 The roundtable discussion brings the
perspectives of journalists and organisations working with
diasporic/minority groups to the debate. Please contact the organisers if your organisation is interested in participating.
To present a paper or contribute a chapter to the planned book,
please email your 200word abstract indicating your preference to Dr Ola Ogunyemi, (oogunyemi /at/ lincoln.ac.uk) by 19 June, 2015.
