[Commlist] Call for Participants: 4th ECREA Journalism Studies PhD Colloquium

The ECREA Journalism Studies Section and the Young Scholars Network 
(YECREA) invite applications for the 4^th Journalism Studies PhD 
Colloquium, which will take place on *10 April 2024* at the *University 
of Sheffield*.

The PhD Colloquium aims to connect up-and-coming journalism researchers 
and experienced colleagues in the field, and to provide mentorship to 
doctoral students. It is an opportunity for PhD researchers in 
Journalism Studies to present their projects, receive in-depth feedback 
on their work from established scholars, and network with senior 
scholars and peers in a friendly and supportive environment. Students 
will be paired with an experienced scholar, who will read a substantive 
piece of their work (a chapter or paper of 5,000-8,000 words) and give 
them feedback on the day of the colloquium.

We welcome all theoretical and empirical PhD projects focusing on 
journalism research. We also strongly support submissions from PhD 
students at the start or middle of their projects as they benefit from 
feedback the most (although doctoral students at any stage of their PhD 
journey are welcome to apply).
