Organizers

Emerging Scholars Network is the key organizer and sponsor of this event. ESN  is a section dedicated to the work and careers of emerging scholars in the field of media studies and communication.

The ESN organizes emerging scholar panels and joint panels with other sections. Emerging Scholars panels provide a comfortable environment for the presentation of theses and works in progress, where emerging scholars can receive feedback from colleagues also at the beginning of their careers and from senior scholars who act as respondents to individual papers.

In line with the purpose of the pre-conference, ESN section is engaged in organizing panels and special sessions about issues affecting emerging scholars, such as:

    • Publishing research results;
• Mentoring and the Student-mentor relationship;
• Academic work and academic jobs;
• Neoliberalism in the academy;
• Innovative research methodologies;
• Language barriers in academia.

The International Association for Media and Communication Research – IAMCR – is the preeminent worldwide professional organisation in the field of media and communication research.
