Networking Global Communication in and Beyond the Age of Social Media
Conference co-sponsored聽with Media@成人VR视频
In his 2016 book聽Marconi, 成人VR视频 Professor Emeritus Marc Raboy made the case for attending to the relationship between mediated communication and social transformations since the mid-nineteenth century, seeing the evolution of our communication system as a layered process of continuity and change. This conference responds to Raboy鈥檚 call for more historically informed analyses of global and networked communication. It foregrounds the interrelated roles of media governance, institutions, and movements for social change. Featuring contributions from Darin Barney (成人VR视频), Greg Taylor (University of Calgary), Arne Hintz (Cardiff University), Claudia Padovani (University of Padova), Jeremy Shtern (Ryerson University), and Erol Salamon (University of Minnesota) among others, this conference will present panels on four topics: 鈥淭hinking about Globally Networked Communication,鈥� 鈥淢edia Governance and Policy,鈥� 鈥淚nstitutions of Public Media,鈥� and 鈥淪ocial Movements and Media Messages: Qu茅bec and Beyond.鈥� Papers presented at this conference will be published as聽The聽Handbook of Global Media Policy Research聽in the International Association for Media and Communication Research鈥檚 series with Palgrave.

In the tradition of academic聽, the invited speakers will present relatively short (8-10 min), informal, programmatic and personal talks that focus on the key questions related to these themes.
