Call for Papers
2001: a Radiodyssey
A conference of the Radio Studies Network
and the University of Sussex
Brighton
20-21 July 2001
This conference will draw on research and ideas from the UK, Europe and
beyond, to assess the present state and future prospects of radio, focussing
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 Broadcasting in a Commercial Era in Europe
* Internet Radio and Radio Art
* Teaching and Learning in Radio
* Radio and Media History
* Programmes and Producers
* Radio Policymaking
* Radio and Elections
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 campus in Brighton, England, and residential
accommodation on campus will be available for the night of 20 July. Details
of registration and cost will be announced early in 2001.
Abstracts (300 words maximum) for proposed papers should be sent by 15
January 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.
