The sixth IWS will delve into the interaction between media and war, exploring how conflicts and the media mutually influence each other, and examining how war coverage is shaped by ideological and cultural biases.
The school welcomes submissions on topics such as media framing of war, war coverage and agenda setting, ideology, culture, and ethnocentrism in war coverage, propaganda of war, embedded journalism and media-military relations, media and cyberwars, visuality in wars and conflicts, journalistic ethnography of war, trust in journalism and the news industry in wartime, security and safety for journalists in new wars, grassroots challenges to official narratives of war, propaganda and psychological warfare, visuality in wars and conflicts, disinformation in war and conflicts, and other related topics.
We invite applications from advanced PhD students and early career scholars specializing in various social science and humanities disciplines worldwide. The school offers a platform for participants to showcase their research, receive constructive feedback, and engage in scholarly discourse. Additionally, renowned researchers in the field will conduct lectures and workshops, enriching the academic experience for all attendees.
