[ecrea] Call to SuSo Alumni for Book Chapter Abstracts - for the European Media and Communication Doctoral Summer School Book

Fri Aug 14 15:35:16 GMT 2015



Call to SuSo Alumni for Book Chapter Abstracts, for the European Media and Communication Doctoral Summer School Book: "Politics, Civil Society and Participation".

Since the early 1990s, the Doctoral Summer School (http://comsummerschool.org/) has brought together a group of highly qualified doctoral students as well as senior researchers and professors from a diversity of European countries and beyond. Over the course of nearly two and a half decades, more than 500 doctoral students received valuable feedback on their doctoral research projects by experienced lecturers. Since 2006, the Doctoral Summer School consortium has also been producing a yearly peer-reviewed edited volume, as part of the Researching and Teaching Communication book series, ISSN 1736-3918 (print) & ISSN 1736-4752 (online) - see http://www.researchingcommunication.eu/.

In 2016, the eleventh book will be published, comprising up-to-date chapters by the Doctoral Summer School lecturers and doctoral students of the year 2015. It will be edited by Leif Kramp, Nico Carpentier, Andreas Hepp, Richard Kilborn, Risto Kunelius, Hannu Nieminen, Tobias Olsson, Simone Tosoni, Ilija Tomanic Trivundža and Pille Pruulmann-Vengerfeldt.

It is our pleasure to announce that, for the first time, three chapters of former Doctoral Summer School participants will be included in this edited book. Doctoral Summer School Alumni are now invited to submit abstracts for proposed chapters, to be reviewed and considered for publication in "Politics, Civil Society and Participation".

The topic "Politics, Civil Society and Participation" is dedicated to fundamental social challenges that are connected to communication and media change: How do politics, public communication and news media change in digital societies? How does communication in civil society transform and evolve? And how does participation in its diverse forms influence these processes?

Invited are chapter proposals by scholars who have participated as PhD student in one of the annual European Media and Communication Doctoral Summer Schools at the University Stendahl, Grenoble (1992-96), Complutense University of Madrid (1997), University of Lund (1998), Westminster University (1999-2003), University of Tampere in cooperation with University of Helsinki (2004), University of Tartu (2005-2009), University of Ljubljana (2010-2012) or at the University of Bremen (2013-2014).

We are accepting submissions of abstracts for chapters to be included in the volume until October 1, 2015. Your *extended abstract* should provide a clear outline of the chapter and not exceed 1,000 words. The submission also has to include:
- your current affiliation, address and contact information
- the year and location of the Doctoral Summer School you attended
- the title of your doctoral research project that was discussed at that summer school.

Please send your abstract to Dr. Leif Kramp, (kramp /at/ uni-bremen.de)
