*CFP* "INTERROGATING SOCIAL MOVEMENTS", ISSUE 6 IAFOR, JOURNAL OF MEDIA, COMMUNICATION AND FILM

Earlier this year, the IAFOR MediAsia 2018 conference featured a theme of ‘Fearful Futures’ that encouraged scholars to reflect upon the role of arts, humanities, media and cultural studies in the contemporary global context of information/disinformation exchange, national and international tensions and polarised politics.

This issue of IAFOR Journal of Media, Communication and Film extends this theme with a specific focus on social movements. It encourages scholars to examine how social movements form, spread and are represented in our contemporary social media age; to evaluate the impact of social movements; and to consider the national and international contexts of social movements.

Authors are encouraged to consider the implications of social movements within specific socio-political and cultural contexts.

Topics can include, but are not limited to:

• Social media and social movements 
• Disinformation and social movements 
• Misappropriation of social movements 
• Class, gender, race and social movements 
• Social movements and journalism 
• Social movements and documentary 
• Social movements and film/television/photography

Please submit a 250 word abstract through the IJMCF online submission system or to ijmcf@iafor.org, by 15 January 2019.
