> Radiodyssey is a conference of the Radio Studies Network and University of
> Sussex
>
> The conference will draw on research and ideas from the UK, Europe and
> beyond, to assess the present state and future proposals of radio,
> focusing
> in particular on its place in contemporary European cultures after a
> decade
> of deregulation and reconstruction.
>
> Papers are invited on issues that currently engage broadcasters and
> academics, for whom, from whatever discipline - media studies, cultural
> studies, economics, history, politics, anthropology, sociology, politics
> or
> drama - radio is important. No area of the study of radio is excluded,
> though organisers are keen to group papers around the following sessions:
>
> Radio Audiences;
> Music Radio;
> Radio Futures;
> Public Service in a Commercial Era;
> Internet Radio and Radio Art;
> Teaching and Learning in Radio;
> Radio and Media History;
> Programmes and Producers;
> Radio Policymaking;
> Radio and Elections
>
> Abstracts (300 words maximum) for proposed papers should be sent by 9th
> March 2001. Proposals will be reviewed and selected by a panel
> representative of European scholarship in the field. It is hoped that a
> selection of papers delivered at the conference will be further
> peer-reviewed and selected for publication in due course.
>
> The conference will include a number of keynote talks from scholars and
> broadcasting professionals, as well as themed sessions. It will be held
> at
> the University of Sussex in Brighton, England, and residential
> accommodation
> on campus will be available. [Details of registration and fees will be
> announced soon.]
