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

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)
