This is a call for papers for the upcoming MeCCSA Postgraduate Network (PGN) Conference, which will be hosted in the Professor Stuart Hall Building at Goldsmiths, University of London on Friday, 12 September 2025.

The theme of this year will be Media and Instability. The committee welcomes contributions that critically explore the intersection of media and instability from any disciplinary, interdisciplinary or transdisciplinary perspective and engage with the theme in unique and innovative ways. Abstracts should be a maximum of 300 words in length.

We are also delighted to offer up to five £50 bursaries to help presenters cover some of their conference-related expenses. Candidates wishing to apply for the bursary will be required to submit a further 200 words detailing the relevance, timeliness and rationale of their work.

Submissions can be completed via the form here, which also contains a detailed introduction to the potential developments of the conference theme. We invite all research from any areas and strongly encourage PhD students to apply even if their proposed work does not directly align with the specific topics we suggest in the form. 

The deadline for abstract submissions is Friday, 16th May 2025 at 12pm (BST).

We look forward to receiving submissions and welcoming all of you to Goldsmiths this year! For further enquiries, do not hesitate to reach out to Miriam Suleiman (msule004@gold.ac.uk).

All very best,

The 2025 MeCCSA PGN Conference Committee
