[Commlist] PANCOPOP Symposium 2023: Call for Papers

Tue Dec 06 17:11:40 GMT 2022



We are inviting proposals for the international symposium on Pandemic Communication and Populism, to be held at Loughborough University, 12-13^th June 2023. Further information below and here: https://www.pancopop.net/pancopop-symposium-2023/ <https://www.pancopop.net/pancopop-symposium-2023/>

/Loughborough University, UK, 12-13 June 2023./

//

/Co-hosted by the //PANCOPOP/ <https://www.pancopop.net/,>/research team & the //Centre for Research in Communication and Culture/ <https://www.lboro.ac.uk/research/crcc/>/, Loughborough University./

//

As the COVID-19 pandemic disappears from the headlines and attention turns to new political crises, it is more important than ever for the scholarly community to continue asking difficult questions about the way the pandemic was handled, and about things that need to change to ensure individuals and communities are better prepared for any future public health crises. This symposium, linked to an ongoing transnational research project (PANCOPOP <https://www.pancopop.net/,>), is designed to bring together scholars interested in the dynamics of health crisis communication and pandemic politics, with a particular focus on the impact of populist leaders and attitudes on the nature, dynamics and effectiveness of public communication processes.

//

We invite proposals for papers that examine these issues from any vantage point, in relation to any health crisis and any country, and using any methodological or theoretical approach. However, we are particularly interested in contributions that use original research to investigate topics and questions that are pursued by the PANCOPOP project team, in relation to the COVID-19 pandemic. We also welcome papers that seek to build on existing knowledge to develop practical recommendations for media practitioners and policy makers, with the aim of building more resilient media organisations that are better equipped to withstand the challenges of future pandemics in divided societies. We are open to contributions from researchers at different career stages, including PhD students, and would particularly encourage submissions that examine pandemic communication and populism in countries beyond the West. Suggested topics include, but are not limited to:

  * Health crisis communication
  * Media policy
  * Media coverage
  * Public attitudes and news consumption
  * Pandemic geopolitics
