[ecrea] Critical Capacities: Media Workers, Labour and Action - IAMCR pre-conference

*Critical Capacities: Media Workers, Labour and Action**- an IAMCR 2016
pre-c**onference*

25-26 July 2016
http://iamcr.org/leicester2016/preconf/critical-capacities

*Conference description: *This two-day event brings together leading
media academics, activists and organisers to critically examine current
trends and trajectories in global worlds of media work, and to present
strategies and solutions for improving and enhancing conditions of media
production. The motif of ‘critical capacity’ invites reflection on
both the current inequalities, intensities and extremities of
over-loaded and under-rewarded media work and the modes of redress,
advocacy and action currently available to the  media worker. The
format is exploratory, dialogic and inclusive – a forum for media
academics, activists, organisers and publics to come together and
explore their own capacities of critical action.

The event will have an array of invited speakers, rather than an open
CFP. It will combine academics with industry and media union
representatives, and with activists, adopting a broadly internationalist
view.

The event will however be open to around 75 members of the public and
IAMCR participants and advance rehistration will be required. More
information will be posted as it becomes available.*
