[Commlist] cfp: Histories, Presents and Futures of Media and Communication

Conference call for papers — Histories, Presents and Futures of Media 
and Communication
University of Westminster (Regent Street, London UK), 22-23 May 2025
In 1975 the first undergraduate Media degree in the UK was launched at 
the Polytechnic of Central London, now the University of Westminster. To 
celebrate the fiftieth anniversary of this foundational moment, 
Westminster’s Communication and Media Research Institute (CAMRI) invites 
proposals for presentations at a two-day conference. We invite papers 
and panels that reflect upon aspects of the histories, presents, or 
futures of the field of Media and Communication. What lessons can we 
learn from the emergence, shaping and development of this field? Where 
are we now, and how do we matter? And how can we respond as a field to 
those future challenges that we can anticipate?
Confirmed keynote speakers:
Professor Payal Arora, University of Utrecht
Professor Nick Couldry, London School of Economics
Professor Lina Dencik, Goldsmiths, University of London
Professor Guobin Yang, University of Pennsylvania
