Call for papers on digital media
Deadline:
15/04/11
The Arab-US Association of Communication Educators (AUSACE), is calling for papers on new media for its upcoming October conference in Lebanon.
The conference, hosted by the Media Studies Program at the American University of Beirut on October 28-31, 2011, has as its theme Digital & Media Literacy: New Directions. AUSACE is the largest association of communication and media studies educators bringing together Arab, US and International scholars.
Mobile phones, blogs, online social networks, wikis, user-generated news, and a plethora of ubiquitous digital media have facilitated access to information; allowed people from around the globe to connect; offered enormous potential for communication about, from, and among civil society groups, democracy advocates, and political activists; and presented new possibilities for national development projects—and lately for cataclysmic public uprisings and revolutions in the Arab world.
Researchers, scholars, experts and advanced graduate students interested in presenting at AUSACE 2011 are required to first submit an abstract of their research, panel, or poster by April 15.
