Call for Chapter Proposals

We are preparing a proposal titled Aging and Communication: Rethinking Later Life in a Digitized Society. The book is edited by Francesca Comunello, Mireia Fernández-Ardèvol, Simone Mulargia, and Cora van Leeuwen, and builds on the work of the ECREA Temporary Working Group on Aging and Communication.

The volume aims to strengthen European scholarship on aging and communication by critically examining media representations of later life, digital ageism, communication practices of older adults, and their participation in civic and public life. It takes a critical and intersectional approach, highlighting older adults as active communicators and agents shaping media cultures.

Abstract deadline: 15 February 2026

Notification of acceptance: 1 March 2026
