CFP: Global Fusion Conference 2015

There is a call for papers for the Global Fusion 2015 Conference that will be held at Texas A&M University in College Station, Texas from October 23rd-25th, 2015. The theme for the sixteenth annual Global Fusion conference is “Development and resilience in communication.” Thomas Tufte (Roskilde University, Denmark) and Drew McDaniel (Ohio University) are the invited speakers. They invite global media and international communication researchers to submit abstracts contributing to this conference theme. The topics they are interested in are proposals that address new approaches to development and transformation as well as discussions on how sustainable, community based and cooperative initiatives are appropriating new technologies effectively. In addition, they will look at proposals focused on research on marginalized or under-resourced groups' use of media and technology, including refugee, migrant, and indigenous populations’ appropriation of communication technologies for empowerment of activism.

Submission Information:
Abstracts no longer than 500 words should be submitted through the open conference system (globalfusion-ocs-tamu.tdl.org) before June 1, 2015. Please title your abstract. Follow APA 6th edition guidelines for abstract style, and save your document as a .doc or .docx file. To preserve anonymity, on a separate page from your abstract, put the title of the paper, contributors’ names, affiliations, and email addresses.
