CONFERENCE THEMES

Among the themes IHPRC continues to promote are:

· The historiography of public relations and the application of historical theories and interpretations to the history of PR; alternative and unheard histories and herstories; archaeological methodologies and theoretical analyses

· History of the PR/Communication departments of organisations (companies, associations, political organisations, NGOs, etc.)

· History of PR instruments (press releases, press conferences, campaigns, social media, etc.)

· Alternative approaches to the history of public relations, e.g. on the basis of culture (personal networks and influence) or via definitions of public relations

· The evolving naming of the field from propaganda and press agentry to corporate and strategic communications

· The evolution of public relations in nations, government and industry

· The history of public relations in specific sectors (for example, consultancy, education, health, and politics)

· The public relations of dissent and activism; historical analysis of public relations in activist and non-profit campaigns

· The evolution of public relations theory(ies) over time; the history of schools of thinking in public relations

· The formation of industry and professional bodies and their impact on public relations practice and education; professionalisation of public relations

· The ethics of public relations and its discussion over time

· Oral histories of public relations; discussion of this methodology
