*ICA 2019 Preconference*

*Journalism Studies Graduate Student Colloquium*

Washington, DC

24 May 2019, 9am – 4pm

*Call for Papers*

The Journalism Studies Graduate Student Colloquium brings together PhD 
candidates working in journalism studies with experienced scholars in 
the field. The Colloquium is part of the Journalism Studies Division’s 
commitment to academic mentorship and will be held as a preconference in 
conjunction with the ICA 2019 Annual Conference in Washington D.C., USA. 
Its goal is to contribute actively to the professional development of 
young scholars by giving them an opportunity to present and discuss 
their research in a constructive and international atmosphere. 
Participating graduate students will receive project-specific feedback 
from recognized experts in the field, as well as general career 
development advice. The Colloquium will thus provide the opportunity to 
meet experts as well as fellow PhD candidates from different backgrounds 
working on related topics.

The Colloquium will be based on thesis-related work submitted by the 
participant PhD candidates. Each participating graduate student will 
have an experienced scholar responding to her or his paper. In addition, 
the Colloquium will feature a discussion with senior scholars about one 
of the topics related to publishing in international journals and career 
strategies, grant applications and career development.

The Colloquium is open to PhD candidates working on topics concerned 
with theory, research, and professional education in journalism. The 
organizers encourage the submission of scholarly work that advances our 
understanding of how journalism works within individual regions or 
comparatively across regions. Subject areas include, but are not limited 
to, the functions of journalism in society, the structural and cultural 
influences on journalism, the attitudes and characteristics of 
journalists, features of news content and their effects on consumers. Of 
interest are the relationships between journalism and power, democratic 
standards, economic pressures, technological change, and (academic) 
critique. Conceptual, empirical and theoretical papers are welcome.

*Submission guidelines*

PhD students should submit an abstract of 500 words (excluding 
references) that outlines the topic, rationale, theoretical approach 
and, if applicable, empirical application. Every abstract should include 
the name, affiliation, and expected graduation date of the PhD candidate.

*Deadline* for abstract submission: *no later than 16:00 UTC, 21 January 
2019*.

Submissions should be sent via *email to Alla Rybina 
(alla.rybina /at/ jmg.gu.se) <mailto:(alla.rybina /at/ jmg.gu.se)>*
