Dear colleagues,
We hope you want to share this call with the PhD students under your supervision or in your network.
The NeFCA Journalism division invites doctoral students to submit their proposals for a PhD Workshop hosted at the Etmaal van de Communicatiewetenschappen Conference 2025 in Bruges. This workshop aims to connect up-and-coming journalism researchers with experienced colleagues in the field.
The colloquium will take place on Monday February 3 between 9:30 and 11:30 (before the start of the main conference) in Meeting room 2 (3rd floor) at The Bruges Meeting & Convention Centre (BMCC). Participants will get the opportunity to present their PhD projects and receive detailed feedback from senior scholars working on related topics.
We welcome all theoretical and empirical PhD projects focusing on journalism research. Submissions can take the form of a working draft of a paper or they can present the theoretical framework, research plan or a specific chapter of the PhD project. We strongly support submissions from PhD candidates at the beginning or in the middle of their project as they benefit from feedback the most.
Interested PhD students should submit the following:
* An abstract of 500 words outlining the 1) topic, 2) rationale, 3) theoretical approach, and 4), if applicable, empirical application, * Practical information: name, affiliation, expected graduation date and supervisor(s), * Please provide a list of two potential respondents affiliated with a university in Belgium or the Netherlands who are likely to attend the conference and whom you would like to receive feedback from (excluding your supervisors or close colleagues). If you do not know anyone, just let us know, and we will do our best to find a suitable match.
Please send your submission VIA THIS FORMhttps://nefca.us13.list-manage.com/track/click?u=17cd5c4b06fe6439067832f3c&id=4b03d30528&e=cbd5abf8e3 no later than November 8 2024. We will send a notice of acceptance by 30 November 2024 at the latest. There will be no fee for the attendance of the workshop as NeFCA kindly supports the workshop. To join the main Etmaal 2025 Conference, participants will need to register and pay the conference fee separately.
Participants whose abstracts are successful in the review process will be asked to submit a full paper/chapter of their PhD of up to 8000 words by January 13 2025 (mandatory for participation). It will be sent to the selected respondents to provide them with a comprehensive picture of the project. The respondents will read the document and prepare feedback and suggestions that will be shared during the PhD workshop.
We look forward to receiving your submissions! If you're interested in becoming a PhD representative or have any questions regarding the NeFCA Journalism PhD Workshop, please feel free to contact (k.lamot@vu.nlmailto:k.lamot@vu.nl).
Yours sincerely
The NeFCA Journalism Division
