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
- Sustainability and leadership
