Media @ LSE

Fifth Anniversary Conference: Media, Communication, and Humanity

Sunday 21st - Tuesday 23rd September 2008

In celebration of our Department’s fifth anniversary year, we invite critical thinking about how the media and communications environment is implicated in shaping our perceptions of the human condition and thus, increasingly, mediating human values, actions and social relations. We welcome proposals for papers offering theoretical insight and/or empirical work on this theme, focused on the five linked areas below.

  1. Communication and Difference
  2. Democracy, Politics, and Journalism Ethics
  3. Globalisation and Comparative Studies
  4. Innovation, Governance, and Policy
  5. Media and New Media Literacies
Abstracts should be submitted by 1 March 2008. See conference website for further details.
