Call for Papers: Exploring C4D in Latin America

“Media and Governance in Latin America: Exploring the Role of Communication for Development” – this is the theme of a conference taking place at the University of Sheffield, 13-14 May 2014.

The event brings together academics, practitioners and researchers from social sciences and humanities, to consider the following work streams:

• Media, politics and citizenship in Latin America: media policies, media ownership, public interest, political communication practices, mediatization of politics
• Communication for social change: community participation, civic empowerment, investigative journalism, social media platforms, social movements as new media
• Media discourse in Latin America: media populism, minorities’ representations, collaborative media, and freedom of speech

Deadline for submission of abstracts is 3 February 2014 – so if you have a proposal, there is still some time!
