[Commlist] Call for abstracts - II Journeys in Communication Sciences FLUC

*_Call for Abstracts_*

Communication research intersects with a series of critical and emerging 
issues whose constant analysis is valuable not only for the development 
of the field but also for the development of societies themselves. With 
“critical” we refer to both crises and the analytical perspective, and 
with “emerging” we want to contemplate the emergence of certain issues, 
as well as strengthen the debate around issues that are emerging in our 
field of investigation.

In a period that is still pandemic and of escalation of conflicts 
between global powers, it is necessary to keep alive the debate on how 
communication, media institutions, and activities are part of the 
current context, which discourses they amplify, in what way they 
dynamize the public agenda, under what conditions its professionals and 
users work and other issues that could be highlighted.

The war situation in Eastern Europe gives rise to new migratory transits 
and new humanitarian crises in addition to the existing ones; climate 
change and its impacts are increasingly visible and difficult to deal 
with; indigenous peoples, gypsies, and racialized people, among other 
groups, continue to be represented under logics based on colonial 
dynamics; women continue to be minorized, both materially and in their 
representations. For these and other reasons, it is necessary to think 
about our critical and emerging issues at this time.

Without ignoring the historical dimension and the longitudinal analyses, 
essential to Communication Sciences, the contemporary context certainly 
raises other concerns and proposes new challenges. It is imperative to 
integrate them into the intersectional lens through which research in 
this field observes itself and the societies in which it operates.

That said, and with the aim of, for the second year in a row, promoting 
a valuable environment for exchanging experiences and sharing knowledge, 
the Ph.D. students in Communication Sciences at the Faculdade de Letras 
of the University of Coimbra invite you to the second edition of the 
FLUC Communication Sciences Conference. The event is aimed at national 
and international students and researchers and will be held on June 14 
and 15, 2022, in virtual format. The event is free, but participation is 
subject to prior registration, both in the listening mode and for the 
presentation of work.

The Organizing Committee and the Scientific Committee of the II Journeys 
also encourage the presentation of works focused on themes that 
researchers in Communication Sciences deem, at this moment, critical and 
emerging, such as:

Climate change
Geopolitical conflicts
Populisms
Ethnic-racial discrimination
Gender inequalities
Misinformation and hate speech
Public health
Management of Public or Private Organizations
Media, children, and youth
among others.

Students and researchers interested in participating should send 
abstracts (up to 400 words), between 04/18/22 and 05/08/22, relating to 
the completed individual or collaborative research; individual doctoral 
projects, in progress or already completed; or specific parts of 
research projects already completed or nearing completion.

*_Conditions for submission:_*

proposals through the submission form available on our website
