IPCC 2023: In search of crossroads

Bringing together a variety of concepts, fields, methods, and ideas 
around broader topics, BİLGİ IPCC – Interdisciplinary PhD Communication 
Conference opts for further inclusivity in its fifth edition and points 
towards the intersections that bind seemingly disparate threads. Rather 
than fixed titles and definitions, the focus here is on a comprehensive 
interpretation of communication, technology, and experience, including 
their separate journeys and how they interact with each other. As a song 
made popular by collectively chanting football fans reminds us, if we 
walk with hope in our hearts, we would never walk alone. And as we walk 
towards the crossroads between communication, technology, and 
experience, our hope is to meet others who are ready to connect their 
journeys with ours.

Born out of the collective efforts of students, candidates, alumni, and 
teachers within the PhD in Communication programme at Istanbul Bilgi 
University, the IPCC prioritises bringing together scholars from various 
disciplines and at different stages in their careers. We, therefore, 
invite all PhD students or candidates as well as early-career 
researchers with PhDs earned in the last 5 years, who are interested in 
joining us at the crossroads of various fields of interest, in order to 
simultaneously learn from and teach fellow scholars.
IPCC: A history

‘Engaged pedagogy’, the term coined by bell hooks (1994), defines a 
journey. Much like most scholarly endeavours, this is a journey that 
begins in the classroom. Then again, unlike most scholarly endeavours, 
this is a journey that also spans beyond educational spaces. It 
encourages those who were once students to adopt reflective and critical 
perspectives that challenge conventional learning practices, 
transgressing the dichotomy of learner and teacher. As learners are 
empowered to move beyond the spatial confines of classrooms, a sense of 
mutual learning is born out of this fluid and interactive process.

Now let us imagine different starting points for this journey. Ready to 
take this journey are scholars from various fields within social 
sciences. They may not start moving at the same time, the roads they are 
on may not be equally long, and the interests behind pursuing this trail 
may not be similar. Still, they find themselves arriving at an 
intersection. This is a point where their respective journeys meet one 
another, a point that gives them the opportunity to continue moving 
together, a point where they can renegotiate their roles as learners 
and/or teachers through a framework of engaged pedagogy. This is a point 
of intersection where multiple scholarly endeavours cross one another 
without colliding, and it is right at this crossroads that the IPCC aims 
to position itself.
