>University radios, also called student, college 
>and campus radios, depending on the local 
>cultural and social contexts were they have 
>developed, have been a tier of broadcasting 
>and/or narrowcasting stations that have become a 
>regular feature in campuses across the Americas, 
>Northern Europe and Australia. In some cases 
>they are also local community radio stations 
>that serve the communities that live in the 
>surrounding areas and playing a role in training 
>future broadcasters, widening the access to the 
>media and a space for activism and social movements.
>In the last decade, these media have been 
>developing at a fast pace also in Southern 
>Europe, Asia and Africa and adapted dynamically, 
>often with scarce resources, in the convergent 
>media landscape where they have experimented the 
>integration with web-based forms of radio broadcasting and podcasting.
>
>Student Radio and radio stations based in 
>universities have been already around for almost 
>50 years, with some early experiences tracing 
>this even back to the early days of radio and 
>the experimental broadcast of the 1920s. Even 
>though those stations are, and  have always 
>been, placed in the same premises where media 
>studies are taught and researched, this is a 
>under-developed area of research and there are 
>limited research resources available in this area.
>
>Interactions is looking for original, 
>research-based papers that will contribute to 
>broaden the theoretical and empirical 
>perspectives on media led by students, or where 
>students are the main volunteer basis and target 
>audience, by calling for contributions from a 
>broad range of approaches including Radio 
>Studies, Media Practice, Media History, 
>Community and Alternative Media and Cultural Studies.
>
>Interactions welcomes analyses of local, 
>regional and national case studies, and 
>international comparative research, as well as 
>contributions on media practice, audience 
>studies and ethnographic studies of these media.

>cultural studies and we therefore encourage 
>diverse themes, subjects, contexts and 
>approaches; empirical, theoretical and 
>historical. Our objective is to engage readers 
>and contributors from different parts of the 
>world in a critical debate on the myriad 
>interconnections and interactions between 
>communication, culture and society at the outset of the twenty first century.
>
>It is our intention to encourage the development 
>of the widest possible scholarly community, both 
>in terms of geographical location and 
>intellectual scope and we will publish leading 
>articles from both established scholars and 
>those at the beginning of their careers.
>
>Particular interests include, but are not 
>limited to, work related to Popular Culture, 
>Media Audiences, Political Economy, Political 
>Communication, Media Institutions and Practices, 
>Promotional Culture, New Media, Migration and Diasporic Studies.
