Dear colleagues,
In my role as chair of the European Sociological Association’s (ESA)
Research Network 18 – Sociology of Communications and Media Research, I
want to invite you to submit abstracts for presentations at the RN18
conference “Communication, Crisis, and Critique in Contemporary
Capitalism“. The deadline for submission is approaching – May 31st.
The conference will provide opportunities for presenting ideas in the
field of the critical study of media, communication & society, for
networking, and for meeting people working in this research area. It
will feature the keynote talk “Why a Sociologist should take
Communications and Media Seriously” by Peter Golding, who is not only a
leading scholar in the political economy of media and communication, but
also founded RN18 and is its honorary chair. The conference will take
place in Bilbao, which is a great city to visit in autumn.
Membership in the ESA and RN18 provides reduced participation fees both
for the bi-annual ESA conference and the bi-annual RN18 conference and
furthermore gives you access to a great community of scholars interested
in critical studies of media, communication & society.
