IAMCR invites PhD researchers to submit their applications to convene an IAMCR Presidential PhD Research Webinar with a topic of their choice. Read this information carefully if you are an IAMCR member PhD student and would like to convene an IAMCR Presidential PhD Research Webinar.

The IAMCR Presidential PhD Research Webinars provide a forum for critical dialogue for PhD researchers in the field of communication and media studies. The central goals of the webinars are to give visibility to doctoral research in the global field of communication and media studies and stimulate interaction and cooperation among PhD students. 

Eligibility  

The convenor(s) must be members of IAMCR and PhD students. The proposed topic must be relevant to communication and media studies, and it should be intellectually stimulating and potentially innovative.

How to apply  

If you want to organise a webinar, download and complete the application form (*).  

The completed application form should be emailed with the subject "IAMCR Presidential PhD Research Webinar:  {title of your webinar}” to Mazlum Kemal Dağdelen (**), the coordinator of the IAMCR Presidential PhD Research Webinar and the assistant of the IAMCR President, Nico Carpentier.  

If there are several convenor(s), each convenor is required to submit an application form. All forms must be sent in one application email to the coordinator of the presidential webinar. If there are similar proposals related to the selected topic, the convenors may be grouped as co-convenors in consultation with the applicants.

The topic and the convenor(s) are selected based on the academic quality of their proposal and its relevance to our field.

Timeline

Applications for hosting/convening a webinar should be submitted by 22 January 2024.

The webinar is expected to take place in April. The actual timeline for the organisation of the webinar will be decided together with the convenor(s).

Please do not send paper proposals in stage 1. This call is for hosts/convenors only. When the convenor(s) and their proposed topic are selected, the second open call for speakers and abstracts for presentations on that topic will be launched in collaboration with the selected convenor(s).
