October 7, 8, and 9, 2021
With a global pandemic and a world unsettled by profound transformations, we currently live a time of uncertainty, doubts, and opportunities. This conference invites to rethink the role of communication in times of disruption. Civil society, the public sector, and businesses must all face new challenges and respond to unforeseen trials.
The conference welcomes papers dealing with new narratives, communication strategies, messages, storytelling, and publics as they relate to the current and past elements of social, political, and economic disruption: the Covid-19 pandemic, the economic crisis, globalization and business challenges, domestic terrorism, the rise of authoritarianism, political polarization, and widespread protest movements, and insurrections, included the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol, as well as current and historical protest/insurrection movements of the past in other parts of the world.
The summit --which is organized by the Blanquerna School of Communication and International Relations in partnership with Emerson College-- will take place at the Blanquerna-Universitat Ramon Llull's campus in Barcelona on October 7-9, 2021. The conference is addressed to scholars and communication practitioners.
