15-16, León, Spain)

The Association for Communication in Politics (ACOP) will be holding its

on León’s condition as the birthplace of parliamentarism, the academic 
committee of ACOP is calling on political communication scholars to 
submit proposals to a theme panel on ‘Parliaments and Communication’. A 
selection of the best papers presented at the León meeting will be 
considered for publication as part of a special issue in the 
International Journal of Media & Cultural Politics (Intellect Books) 
after peer review. The deadline for submission of abstracts is March 15, 
2020. Attendees will be notified of acceptance by March 31, 2020.

Topics likely to be covered at the meeting include:

•    Publicity versus secrecy in parliamentary deliberations
•    Parliaments and parliamentarians on social media
•    Parliamentary TV channels
•    Members of Parliament and their relationship with constituents
•    Parliaments as architectures of communication and debate
•    Personal branding of Congressional members

•    Communication between Parliaments and other branches of power 
(Executives, Judiciary)
•    Parliaments and citizen engagement
•    Parliaments and civic education
•    Comparative studies of Parliamentary communication

The titles and abstracts of the proposed papers may be submitted in 
English or Spanish by March 15, 2020 to <(info /at/ compolitica.com)> and 
should include title, author(s), institutional affiliation(s), and a 
300-word summary. Please, state in the subject of your e-mail ‘Leon 
Conference Submission’. Abstracts will be evaluated by looking at their 
theoretical orientation (aims, research questions or hypotheses), their 
empirical grounding (methods), and their policy or societal relevance. 
Full papers based on accepted abstracts will be due on Friday, 25th 
September 2020.
