CFP: Special Issue on Public Relations and Sustainability

Turkish Review of Communication Studies (TURCOM) is inviting 
contributions for its special issue for the memory of Prof. Alaeddin 
Asna (1940-2015), who was a pioneer in Turkey’s Public Relations 
industry and academia. The theme of the special issue is “Public 
Relations and Sustainability”, which is planned to be published in April 
2022.

Sustainability has been greatly influential in shaping social, economic, 
and political policies in the 21st century. “The 2030 Agenda for 
Sustainable Development” was adopted by the United Nations member states 
in 2015, to set up future goals in terms of improving human rights, 
reducing inequalities, and tackling climate change 
(https://sdgs.un.org/2030agenda). Sustainability has also been applied 
as a communication strategy by corporations, governments, NGOs, and 
other agents, which pointed out the growing importance of public 
relations in effectively communicating the goals for a better future to 
target audiences. In this regard, our special issue is interested in 
bringing together different theoretical and methodological approaches 
that analyze various aspects of the relations between Public Relations 
and Sustainability. We invite contributions that engage in the topics 
including, but not limited to:

- Transforming PR practices in terms of sustainability
- Green PR and environmental sustainability
- The goals for gender equality and PR
- PR and poverty
- PR and sustainability in global or different regional perspectives
- The history, today, and the future of PR and sustainability in Turkey 
and the region
- Human rights, political activism, and PR
- Activist PR in the era of sustainability
- Critical perspectives in PR and sustainability
- Brand activism
- Corporate Social Responsibility and sustainability
- The use of persuasive communication in sustainability
