Description: ____

This postconference welcomes scholars from all fields and disciplines 
build the field of media sociology writ large on any foci, theoretical 
orientation, and/or methodological practice. Contributing to ICA’s theme 
“One World, One Network,” the post-conference provides a global tent for 
the emergent interdisciplinary field of media sociology at the 
intersection of communication, media, technology, digital inequalities, 
and social changes. Submissions are invited from voices and 
practitioners from around the world, particularly traditionally 
underrepresented groups from whom we can learn much about inequalities 
in increasingly networked and digitized societies. This postconference 
leverages ICA’s conference in Paris to showcase featured speakers Paola 
Tubaro (CNRS) and Antonio A. Casilli (Télécom Paris) from the 
internationally renowned CNRS, le Centre national de la recherche 
scientifique, which is one of France’s premier institutions. In addition 
to showcasing French intellectual leadership appropriate to the ICA 
venue, organizers come from South America, North America, Europe, and 
the UK, thus ensuring global standpoints. The event’s ICA affiliate is 
the Computational Methods Divisions (submissions are welcome from all 
methodological and theoretical perspectives).____
