Dear GEP-ed members, A colleague and I are looking for additional panelists and a discussant for the Association of Asian Studies Annual conference for our panel, tentatively titled, "Media, Nuclear Power, and Disasters." I have included a description of the panel and contact information below.
Information about the conference can be found here: http://www.aasianst.org/Conference/index.htm Please feel free to distribute this message widely to anyone you know who might be interested in participating. The Fukushima incidents have brought renewed attention to the issue of nuclear power and disasters as well as media representations. This panel tackles issues of media representation and issues of nuclear power and disasters through an interdisciplinary approach. We seek additional panelists and a discussant for the AAS meeting. The current papers proposed involve an analysis of global media frames of the Fukushima incident and an analysis of articles regarding Japanese adoption of nuclear power within a strong anti-nuclear normative environment. We are seeking participants from any relevant discipline, most likely from environmental, media, global studies, global governance, or international relations perspectives. The participants must engage in the topic in relation to the Asia Pacific region (taken broadly). Please contact Steven B. Rothman ([email protected]) before July 31 if you are interested in participating or would like additional information. Sincerely, Steven B Rothman, Ph.D. International Relations and Peace Studies Ritsumeikan Asia Pacific University 1-1 Jumonjibaru, Beppu-City, Oita Japan 874-8577 [email protected] Home Page: http://web.me.com/psprof/ LinkedIn: http://www.linkedin.com/in/psprof
