Call for abstracts
The graduate students of Boston University’s Division of Emerging Media Studies invite abstracts for their inaugural Conference on Emerging Media.
Emerging media platforms permeate almost every aspect of our lives including work, learning, public engagement, governance, human development, and community interaction. The implications for how these advancing technologies will both augment and challenge our lives are enormous – yet the study of this field is still in its infancy. This conference will explore the fascinating dimensions of the unique (and still evolving) phenomena of individual and collective experiences with emerging media platforms. The conference is free of charge to both presenters and attendees. This conference is aimed at graduate students to showcase their research and as an opportunity to network with peers.
Emerging Media Studies is an inherently interdisciplinary field, and as such, we welcome abstracts from a variety of perspectives and disciplines on a range of topics, including:
Diffusion of technology
Activism and social movements online
Social media responses to major events
Strategies in social media use
Emerging media platforms and online narrative construction
Using online platforms to construct narratives and identity
Submission Instruction
Please submit abstracts of no more than 300 words using the online submission form at http://sites.bu.edu/demsconference/ or via e-mail to Demsconf@bu.edu.
