AJE Annual Conference - *June 29 & 30, 2023*

Host: *Edinburgh* Napier University

*Call for Abstracts  - The future of journalism education in an age of 
growing authoritarianism*

The AJE Annual Conference 2023 will seek to address issues around how 
journalism and news thrives, or survives, in a more authoritarian world 
where issues around freedom of the press and freedom of speech are 
challenged and are challenging.

Journalism educators need to look at sustainable models that enable us 
to successfully create curriculum within challenged academic, 
professional, economic, social and cultural frames. Furthermore, we need 
to consider issues around sustainability, decolonization of curriculum, 
use of AI as both a pedagogical tool and in the creation of journalism, 
and address equality, diversity and inclusion.

As such the AJE is calling for papers around the theme which will cover 
such topics as:

*Designing sustainable curriculum for the future:* what can we do now to 
ensure our students are prepared for the challenges and opportunities in 
the future? How does the curriculum position the role of journalism 
today and in the future? Preparing students for a changing world of work 
and the changing public sphere and expectation of news consumers.

*Opportunities and challenges for journalism educators:* In what way do 
journalism educators teach and research in a changing world where 
knowledge and practice are crucial? In what way do we create learning 
environments that reflect the myriad of issues around freedom of speech, 
expression and the press? In what way is journalism education challenged 
by issues around freedom of expression within academic environments? How 
do we prepare journalism graduates for precarious work environments 
where the focus can be around creating content that generates traffic 
rather than meaningfully engaging with audiences around important 
social, political and cultural issues?

*Journalism education in a global context: *What best practice is 
emerging for learning and teaching where cohorts of journalism students 
are made up of individuals from different countries, cultures and 
traditions? What challenges, and opportunities, are there within 
different cultures for teaching journalism in news ways? Preparing 
students to work across borders and adopting cross border pedagogies.

*Research in journalism education:* methodological approaches to 
researching journalism and journalism education; new pedagogies in 
journalism education.

This list is not exclusive, and we will consider any paper on the 
general theme.

*Please send a 250-word proposal/abstract by April 23, 2023 at 4.30pm, 
clearly marked AJE 2023 ABSTRACT, to: (assjrned /at/ gmail.com)* (attach as 
document with your name).

We hope to advise all those who submit of final decisions by April 30, 2023.
