[Commlist] cfp Forgotten Journalists

*Forgotten Journalists: Lived experiences and professional identities in 
the past* Ghent on 6-7 June 2025 
(https://lapij.ulb.ac.be/cfp-forgotten-journalists/ 
<https://lapij.ulb.ac.be/cfp-forgotten-journalists/>).


The deadline for submissions is 30 August 2024.____


By focusing on lived experiences and professional identities from a 
historical and decentered perspective, we want to make visible those 
whose work has been underestimated, or whose journalistic (or partly 
journalistic) careers have been neglected.

We propose two different ways to decenter the history of journalism :

Finding forgotten or invisible journalists
We invite contributors to present cases of journalists who have been 
forgotten or have remained invisible in the studies about their field of 
expertise and form of journalism.

Rediscovering the forgotten journalistic activities of public figures
Many authors, politicians, activists and other public figures pursued 
prolific careers as journalists. The journalistic activities in their 
careers are often forgotten. The journalistic careers of plenty of 
prominent individuals remain to be re-evaluated. Studying these figures 
as journalists may both result in a more complete understanding of their 
careers and help to re-evaluate the role of journalism as an outlet of 
political and social activism.

Both established and early career scholars are encouraged to apply. We 
intend to provide travel grants for two non-European, early career 
researchers. If you want to be considered for a travel grant, please 
state so when submitting your abstract.

Please send your abstract for a 20 min presentation with a short 
biography to (christoph.despiegeleer /at/ liberas.eu) 
<mailto:(christoph.despiegeleer /at/ liberas.eu)> before 30 August 2024.
