2024 Association for Education in Journalism and Mass Communication
Cultural and Critical Studies Division Paper Call
The Cultural and Critical Studies Division invites submissions of original research that contribute to the study of journalism and mass communication from a cultural and/or critical perspective and that cuts across theoretical and methodological boundaries, with particular interest in qualitative approaches. We also encourage scholarship that challenges conventional media research and practice and includes intersectional perspectives that highlight global voices, traditionally marginalized or underrepresented groups, and decolonizing experiences. Ideas central to the Division include (but are not limited to) notions of power, ideology and hegemony, resistance, agency, and social justice. Scholarship that represents aims of the Division can be found on our website, https://bit.ly/3srSRwg.
We encourage collaboration across divisions and interest groups to develop interdisciplinarity and inclusivity. In addition AEJMC NEWS, JANUARY 2024 | PAGE 25 to full papers, we welcome extended abstracts, the guidelines for which are outlined in the AEJMC Extended Abstract Call.
