Call for Papers on Global Populism

The International Communication Association is requesting paper submissions for their annual meeting on "Global Populism: Its Roots in Media and Religion." This pre-conference will feature a morning expert panel including John Jackson of the Annenberg School at the University of Pennsylvania, Robert Jones of the Public Religion Research Institute, former U.S. Congressman Tom Perriello (tentative) and an expert on media, religion, and populism outside the North Atlantic West (TBA). The afternoon will be devoted to two panels made up of submitted proposals and papers and a final, wrap-up round table discussion. Relevant papers and proposals for the afternoon that address the rise of new politics and the role of religion and of media in it are welcomed. Proposals may also address broader questions of the challenges religion poses to media scholarship.

Papers or abstracts of 250 words maximum should be submitted to the organizers at
cmrc@colorado.edu by December 15, 2018. Acceptances will be emailed at the time of the overall ICA acceptances in January.
