Emerging Directions in News Use Research -Leverhulme Project Launch Event & Open Conference
We are delighted to announce this Call for Papers, for the fully virtual and free 1 day conference on Emerging Directions in News Use Research on 20th March 2024. The event marks the launch of the Leverhulme Trust funded parents’ news use project - which runs from the fall of 2023 to the fall of 2025. The Leverhulme News Use project aims to examine how parents engage with and respond to news at critical moments of crisis. The project team includes Professor Ranjana Das, Dr Thomas Roberts, Dr Emily Setty and Dr Maria Nerina Boursinou from the Department of Sociology (University of Surrey).
Emerging Directions in News Use Research - a day-long, international, virtual conference - aims to bring together a global group of scholars involved with researching news use, news audiences and consumption, and news engagement and disengagement. We are keen to hear from a range of empirical contexts, from projects using tried and tested as well as more creative and innovative methodologies, and to showcase the work of scholars across career stages in the fields of Sociology, Journalism, Media and Communication, and more. In particular we are keen to receive papers related to the two case studies at the centre of the News Use project:
Environmental change and the climate crisis;
Young people and sex and relationships
Keynote speakers at the event include Professor Brita Ytre-Arne, University of Bergen, Norway; Dr Jonathan Corpus Ong, University of Massachusetts, Amherst; Professor Kim Schroeder, Roskilde University, Denmark; Professor Sahana Udupa, Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität München, Germany and Professor Lynn Schofield Clark, University of Denver, Colorado.
