CALL FOR ABSTRACTS - 5th Blanquerna-Emerson Global Summit

Ramon Llull University, Blanquerna School of Communications and 
International Relations
Barcelona, October 7, 8, and 9, 2021

With a global pandemic and a world unsettled by profound 
transformations, we currently live a time of uncertainty, doubts, and 
opportunities. This conference invites to rethink the role of 
communication in times of disruption. Civil society,
the public sector, and businesses must all face new challenges and 
respond to unforeseen trials.

The conference welcomes papers dealing with new narratives, 
communication strategies, messages, storytelling, and publics as they 
relate to the current and past elements of social, political, and 
economic disruption: the Covid-19 pandemic, the economic crisis, 
globalization and business challenges, domestic terrorism, the rise of 
authoritarianism, political polarization, and widespread protest 
movements, and insurrections, included the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the 
U.S. Capitol, as well as current and historical protest/insurrection 
movements of the past in other parts of the world.

The summit--which is organized by the Blanquerna School of Communication 
and International Relations in partnership with Emerson College--will 
take place at the Blanquerna-Universitat Ramon Llull's campus in 
Barcelona on October 7-9, 2021. The conference is addressed to scholars 
and communication practitioners.
