*CFP: MEDIATING CHANGE CONFERENCE* November 1 & 2, 2018 University of North Texas (30 miles north of Dallas, TX, USA) Full CFP & details on our website: https://www.mediatingchangeconference.com/ *Goal* This interdisciplinary conference focuses on the roles of media in creating a more equitable, inclusive, sustainable, and just society. The goal is to bring scholars, media practitioners, educators, and/or activists together in one space so that we can all learn from and about each other’s research, creative projects, tools, and strategies. Submissions We are seeking submissions in 3 categories: paper presentations, workshops, and creative exhibitions. See website for submission details. *Scope* Anyone whose work focuses on the intersections of media and justice is invited to apply; we are particularly interested in research, creative projects, pedagogy, and activism with a specific local or regional focus. We are also interested in collaborative and community-based research or creative projects; we encourage workshops and panels that include diverse populations including students, youth, and community leaders. We are conceptualizing both media and justice in the broadest senses of the words. We are open to media forms and practices that include, but are not limited to: - film, TV, podcasts or radio programs, digital and social media, webisodes, advertising and PR campaigns, mediated performances, augmented reality, video games, photography, zines, etc. Because we are interested in changes on multiple levels and in various sectors, we are conceptualizing justice to include issues such as, but not limited to: - intersectional social justice (e.g. gender, ethnicity, sexuality, religion, ability), environmental justice, youth justice, criminal justice, immigration justice, media industry practices, representational inclusivity and equity, etc. Please circulate widely and don't hesitate to reach out if you have questions.
