About the theme Media organisations are engaging in reflection about what it means to be diverse. What does it mean to give people from different communities an effective voice in the 21st century media? This has theoretical and methodological implications media education: where are diversity and voice to be located in terms of our study of producers, texts and audiences? Responding to these questions invites interdisciplinary, self-reflexive and practice-based research. The organisers are particularly interested in presentations on these topics: * Defining, measuring, and evaluating diversity * Performativity and pedagogy * Inclusion, access and agency * National and institutional policy initiatives * Meeting diverse educational needs * Diversity and voice in practice Guidance for submission of abstracts and registration - on the conference site<https://www.cemp.ac.uk/summit/2020/>.
