[Air-L] CFP - P3: Power, Propaganda, Polarisation (ICA postconference, Brisbane, 26-27 June 2024)

[Axel Bruns]

Dear AoIRists,

With my colleagues Anja Bechmann and Jessica Gabriele Walter at Aarhus University and Daniel Kreiss at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, I am organising a postconference event after the 2024 ICA conference on the Gold Coast, Australia. Our postconference is titled P3: Power, Propaganda, Polarisation, and brings together current and emerging conceptual and applied theoretical and methodological approaches to the study of the relationship between power, propaganda, and polarisation. Day One reviews and challenges our conceptual frameworks for understanding the relationship between power and patterns of information and social interaction, while Day Two takes stock of the current methodological toolkit for the study of power, propaganda, and polarisation. 

The postconference will be held at the Kelvin Grove campus of Queensland University of Technology in central Brisbane, Australia - just north of the Gold Coast where the main ICA conference will take place. We've scheduled the event for 26-27 June 2024, to give participants sufficient time to make the move up from the Gold Coast to Brisbane after the ICA conference on 20-24 June, and to enable them to travel on to the IAMCR conference over in Christchurch, New Zealand, afterwards (which starts on 30 June). Registration costs will be US$50 for faculty and US$25 for students, and participation in the main ICA conference is not required.

We now invite you to submit a paper proposal of 3,500 characters (around 500 words) to the postconference. The full CFP and submission form for the postconference is located at https://bit.ly/p3postconf, and the final deadline for submissions is 1 February 2024.

Please don't hesitate to contact me or the other organisers if you have any questions about the postconference, and of course feel free to share this with other relevant colleagues. Looking forward to seeing you in Brisbane!
