 At a time of political and socio-cultural flux in Europe, Audiences 
2030 brings together researchers taking diverse approaches to 
researching audiences, to ask what needs (re)doing in the ways in which 
we research audiences, the ways in with we mobilise theory, and the 
extent to which we think of future challenges to a rapidly changing 
field. Audiences 2030 is the end-of-project conference for CEDAR - the 
Consortium on Emerging Directions in Audience Research (funded by the 
Arts and Humanities Research Council) and will see a highlight plenary 
from CEDAR launch the outcomes of its unique foresight exercise about 
the future of audience research in 2030. The conference will see keynote 
speeches from Sonia Livingstone, Martin Barker, Thomas Tufte and Klaus 
Bruhn Jensen. In our call for papers we are particularly keen to see a 
futuristic outlook - whatever project we speak from, we would like to 
see it contextualised in contemporary complexities (intellectual, 
socio-cultural,
political), and geared towards future challenges. Topics in our CFP 
include but are not restricted to -  EU politics, democracy and media 
audiences
Audiences' new literacies, capabilities and coping strategies with 
digital media Contemporary political complexities and audience studies 
Digital interfaces and their implications for 'audience' studies 
Speaking to stakeholders in audience research Race, class, gender and 
religion in audience studies Youthful audiences Invisible, marginalised 
and under researched audiences Social action, movements and audiences 
Co-option of audience labour Audiences, media regulation and media 
policy New forms of media engagement The role of texts in contemporary 
audience research
Cross-media audiences Methodological and theoretical innovations  For 
each of this (or indeed, other topics), we particularly welcome papers 
thinking about the future, including socio-political challenges, 
anticipated technological changes and implications for research. Our 
conference also includes a workshop or PhD students co-hosted by YECREA. 
 Please submit 250 word abstracts on https://goo.gl/Lx01fJ. The last 
date for submissions is 30th March 2017. We plan to announce results by 
15th May 2017.  Ranjana Das (Director, CEDAR), Brita Ytre-Arne 
(Co-Director, CEDAR), David Mathieu, Ana Jorge, Ines Amaral,
