Call for Contributions: International Conference on Global Intersections: Communication and Resilience Across Borders

Conference registration here. 

The Trinity Centres for Global Intercultural Communications; Resistance Studies; and Forced Migration Studies invite scholars, postgraduate students, educators, policymakers, and activists in diverse settings to submit papers exploring the intersections of modern communication across four vital themes: the intersection of language with identity formation, power structures and resistance movements; the evolving landscapes of communication technologies and their societal impact; the communicative dimensions of border and migration experiences and innovative approaches to training and education that foster resilience in an increasingly complex world. We welcome empirical research, theoretical frameworks, case-studies and practice-based investigations that contribute to our understanding of how communication shapes and is shaped by contemporary global challenges.
This conference aims to investigate how global intersections can actively challenge and dismantle colonial mindsets, fostering decoloniality and global solidarity between the Global South and Global North. Reflecting on global connectedness, the conference will explore strategies to harmonise individual goals with ethical collaborations in an increasingly fragmented world.
We encourage contributions that align with the following four key themes:
1. Language, identity, power and resistance
2. Communication and technology
3. Borders, migration, communication
4. Training, education and resilience
The conference will feature plenary sessions with two keynote speakers and include paper presentations (20 minutes).
