The IAMCR Presidential PhD Research Webinars aim to open up channels for greater engagement and participation, keep IAMCR's vibrant and collegial spirit, foster membership engagement outside of the main conference, and provide more visibility for the research that early-stage scholars do.
The webinars provide a forum for critical dialogue for PhD researchers in the field of communication and media studies. The central goals of the webinars are to give visibility to doctoral research in the global field of communication and media studies and stimulate interaction and cooperation among PhD students.
PhD webinars are open to the participation of IAMCR members as convenors, presenters, and audience.
For further information about the presidential research webinars contact the coordinator Mazlum Kemal Dağdelen.
The Research Webinar, "De-Westernizing Global Media Studies", aims to challenge the field's Western-centric bias and pave the way for a more inclusive future. To be held on 12 December, the event will explore strategies to diversify perspectives and foster global collaboration. Doctoral students, particularly those focusing on the Global South, are encouraged to apply by 20 October.
