-- Mass Communication and Transnational Empire:
50 Years of Transformations Since Herbert Schiller
October 31-November 3, 2019
California State University, East Bay
--Deadline Extended to July 1, 2019--

The Union for Democratic Communications-Project Censored 2019 conference 
invites contributions that reflect on the relationships between media, 
communication, and empire from a variety of perspectives. Contributions 
may examine these concepts through historical materialist, feminist, 
critical race, queer, and other critical approaches, and might be 
situated in interdisciplinary areas such as Latinx Studies, Black 
Studies, gender studies, cultural studies, and environmental studies. In 
particular, we invite contributions that highlight the means and methods 
for active resistance, democratic communication, and the promotion of 
social justice. New and established scholars, graduate students, 
activists, and media creators are encouraged to submit proposals. Please 
refer to https://bit.ly/2ZsKGjp for proposal submissions.

At this conference, we will ask: In what ways do we still exist in 
“American empire”? What are its prospects for the future, what 
alternatives are emerging and in what way? What role do media and 
communication networks play in solidifying or disrupting these 
possibilities? What continuities or disjunctures exist in the relations 
between the state, capital, labor, technology, and ideology? In what 
ways are the structures and ideologies of colonialism and imperialism 
(re)produced and experienced within national contexts?
