The JJCHC is calling for 500- to 600-word abstract or proposal for papers, research in progress or panel discussions for presentation at the Joint Journalism and Communication History Conference — the joint spring meeting of the American Journalism Historians Association and the AEJMC History Division. This one-day interdisciplinary conference welcomes all scholars and graduate students with an interest in journalism or communication history. It will be held March 12, 2016, at the Arthur L. Carter Journalism Institute at New York University.
Innovative research and ideas from all areas of journalism and communication history and from all time periods are welcome, as are scholars from all academic disciplines and all stages of their academic careers. This conference offers participants the chance to explore new ideas, garner feedback on their work, and meet colleagues from around the world interested in journalism and communication history in a welcoming environment. Your abstract or proposal should include a compelling rationale why the research is of interest to an interdisciplinary community of scholars.
