CfP Pandemic Communication and Populism

//

/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
