Dublin, Ireland

Deadline: January 6, 2020

Technological University Dublin invites submissions for its public relations and public affairs conference, SymPR&A 2020.

With a theme of ‘public relations, public affairs and societal engagement’ and an emphasis on social capital and social legitimacy, the conference invites research papers from scholars in PR and public affairs particularly, and encourages interdisciplinary contributions from scholars whose related work explores and benefits contemporary theory and practice.

Topics that are particularly welcomed in this call for papers may include, for example:

  • Is societal engagement an evolution of corporate social responsibility, or a revolution?
  • The challenges for societal engagement
  • What are the strategic and tactical processes for societal engagement?
  • How can PR&A measure both engagement and the outcomes of engagement?
  • Where does societal engagement sit within schools of PR&A thought – rhetorical, critical theory, systems theory etc?
  • Inter-disciplinary approaches to engagement – inter alia, sociology, mass and behavioural psychology, media reporting, ethics, linguistics, marketing, management.
  • Practitioner-led case studies that explore these topics

This list is not exhaustive and imaginative proposals from disciplines outside these suggestions are welcome.

Abstracts of 300-400 words for a paper of approximately 20-25 minutes should be submitted with a short accompanying proposer biography by January 6. Submissions may be made at https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=sympra2020

The full call for papers, and details on registration can be viewed at http://www.prstudent.com/symposium.
