IAMHIST is the International Association for Media and History, an 
organisation of scholars, filmmakers, broadcasters and archivists 
dedicated to historical enquiry into film, radio, TV and other related 
media. Its next biennial conference will take place in Kiel, northern 
Germany, from 12-14 July 2022.

The conference theme this year is CONFLICT RESOLUTION AND THE MEDIA. 
Scholars of media history, more other than not, have looked at the role 
of media in times of conflict, revolution, war, crisis, social and 
political upheaval. Yet, media has also played a decisive role in 
processes of conflict resolution. As such, media in one way or another 
affected nation building processes, the fight for civil rights, 
equalities, the reconciliation of former enemies, the democratisation of 
totalitarian states and peacekeeping missions around the world. Examples 
include European integration after the Cold War, the end of Apartheid in 
South Africa, democratisation processes after military dictatorships in 
South America or the empowerment of minorities.

The conference invites academics and practitioners from all relevant 
disciplines to take part in a timely conversation about the historical 
role of media in conflict and conflict resolution, from the film and 
broadcasting industries and the press, to new media, social media and 
advertising. In addition to presentations, the conference will include 
film screenings, events geared towards PhD and early-career scholars, 
social events, and a roundtable on the subject of the conference.

Proposals are welcome on, but not limited to, the following topics:

    Media representations and examples of conflict resolution, 
consolation and reconciliation processes
    Media reception and its positive impact upon social coexistence and 
the integration of society
    The role of alternative or oppositional media and the challenging 
of power, injustice and inequality
    Examples of how media circumvented censorship, regulation and offence
    Media education and learning initiatives
    The role of public service broadcasting in sustaining citizenship 
and civil society
    Case studies of how media content has stimulated creativity and 
cultural excellence
    The role of soft power: how media helped improving international 
relations through the means of public diplomacy and intervention

The deadline for proposals is 10 January 2022, you can submit proposals 
through the website: https://forms.gle/1m2f6JvzvSDwefCM6

Individual paper proposals should consist of a title, an abstract of 150 
to 300 words and a short biography. Panel proposals (of three papers) 
are welcome; they need to be registered by the individual presenters who 
must flag up the title of the panel. We also appreciate proposals for 
archival, artistic or multimedia projects; you are welcome to discuss 
their suitability with the conference organisers in advance of the deadline.

on travel and accommodation by early February 2022; registration will be 
open by that day. Conference attendees are expected to be members of
