Deadline for abstracts: May 1, 2016
Conference Date: June 23, 2016 9-5 PM at the Boston University College of Communication
“The graduate students of Boston University’s Division of Emerging Media Studies are calling for abstracts for their second annual Conference on Emerging Media.
#Screentime aims to explore the social, emotional, and civic implications of today’s media landscape. Social forces and technological elements are driving changes in this developing field of study. This conference is an opportunity to bridge diverse perspectives on the roles of the users and technology in new media and will lay the groundwork for future research.
Emerging Media Studies is an inherently interdisciplinary field, and as such we welcome abstracts from a variety of perspectives and disciplines on a range of topics, including but not limited to:
- Civility, sub-cultures, and online discourse
- Uses and effects of mobile communications technologies
- Digital Distribution and industry disruption
- Data mining of social networks
- Emerging technologies’ effects on users
- Video games and virtual worlds
- Digital communication and public health
The conference is free of charge to both presenters and attendees. This conference is aimed at graduate students to showcase their research, and as an opportunity to network with peers.
