Call for Papers Global Fusion 2019

University of Texas at Austin

October 25-27, 2019


The purpose of the Global Fusion Conference series, which began in 2000, 
is to promote academic excellence in Global Media and International 
Communication Studies. The conference is sponsored by a consortium of 
universities: the University of Texas at Austin, Texas A&M University, 
Ohio University, Southern Illinois University, University of Virginia, 
and Temple University.


We invite original, non-published research submissions on any aspect of 
global media and international aspects of mediated communication. Any 
theoretical or methodological approach appropriate to communication and 
media studies research is acceptable and encouraged. These approaches 
may include research on social justice and media, issues of new 
technologies and communities or social movements, representation of 
global or transnational issues, qualitative or quantitative studies of 
global media flows, media audiences and reception, the connections 
between communication and immigrant or diasporic populations, the 
comparative or international role of social media in political systems 
and institutions, messaging techniques and strategies for health 
communication in global settings, investigations on media policy and law 
in global or international settings, infrastructural challenges for 
media and development, research concerning the philosophy of 
globalization and media, and approaches engaging the rise of 
anti-globalization around the world and in the United States. In order 
to open panels to the widest possible range of topics, we have 
specifically chosen to adopt no conference theme beyond global or 
international communication broadly defined.
