Science and Environment Communication CFP :
The 21st century faces unprecedented challenges in the environment and science fields. The Science and Environment Communication section seeks to foster a strong and dynamic research network and welcomes work that crosses a range of disciplinary and methodological boundaries. Examples of topic areas include – but are far from restricted to : media representations of science and the environment ; political and commercial discourse on the environment ; dialogic, participatory approaches to the communication of research-based knowledge ; communication, democracy and research governance ; public engagement with science and the environment.
For details (including how to submit), please see below for the general call for papers.

The general theme of the conference is ‘Social Media-Global Voices’. The organisers call for proposals in all fields of communication and media studies, but particularly invite conceptual, empirical, and methodological proposals on social media and global communication phenomena and/or on comparative research.
ECREA is pleased to accept proposals for individual papers, panels as well as poster presentations. All proposals must be submitted through the conference website www.ecrea2012istanbul.eu and will be reviewed by the 17 ECREA thematic sections. The descriptions of the sections are listed further below in this message.
Abstracts should be written in English and contain a clear outline of the argument, the theoretical framework, and, where applicable, methodology and results. The preferred length of the individual abstracts is between 400 and 500 words (the maximum is 500 words). Panel proposals —which should consist of five individual contributions—, combine a panel abstract with five individual abstracts, each of which are between 400 and 500 words.
Participants may submit more than one proposal, but only one paper or poster by the same first author might be accepted. First authors can still be second (or third, etc.) author of other papers or posters, and can still act as chair or respondent of a panel.
