The International and Intercultural Communication Section - IIC
http://www.ecrea.eu/divisions/section/id/8
of the European Communication Research and Education Association (ECREA) is inviting the
submission of papers in all areas of international and intercultural communication for
the forthcoming conference in collaboration with the Hans Bredow Institute, and the
University of Hamburg and the Hamburg Media School in Hamburg, Germany from 12 to 15
October 2010.

The general theme of the conference is 'Transcultural Communication -- Intercultural
Comparisons'. The organizers call for proposals in all fields of communication and media
studies, but particularly invite conceptual, empirical, and methodological proposals on
inter- and transcultural communication phenomena and/or on comparative research.

IIC welcomes cross-and-inter-disciplinary proposals, proposals on emerging but also
long-standing themes, methodologies and approaches.

IIC encourages the submission of critical work and work that pushes the boundaries of
the field and the study of communication policy.

IIC encourages also the submission of proposals dealing with the challenges of
transcultural and transnational media governance and the challenges of transnational and
intercultural media policy formulation.

Please visit the IIC section on ECREA website for the activities of the section.

IIC also invites scholars to submit papers for the Pre-conference to ECREA 2010 – 3rd
European Communication Conference “Doing Global Media Studies: Comparative methods of
transcultural and transnational research” which will be held in Bremen, Germany, on the
11th and 12th October 2010. The Pre-conference is organized by NIIK – Network
Intercultural and International Communication
