Workshop on Media Diversity, Democracy, and Obstacles to Democratization
 
Friday, May 3rd, 2024
10:00am – 3:00pm

 
Workshop description:
The SAIS Media and Politics Initiative (MPI) will host an academic workshop to support the development of papers addressing how levels of media diversity intersect with democratic practices and/or obstacles to democratization. We conceive of media diversity broadly, including but not limited to demographic representation, regional focus, issue coverage, and topic framing. Workshop participants will present papers-in-progress related to this theme and receive discussant feedback with the goal of journal publication. Papers can be in initial or advanced stages. We especially encourage submissions from early-career researchers.
 
Organizers:
Lisel Hintz, Assistant Professor of European and Eurasian Studies
Narges Bajoghli, Assistant Professor of Middle East Studies
 
Details:
The workshop will be held on Friday, May 3rd from 10:00am to 3:00pm at Johns Hopkins SAIS, located at 555 Pennsylvania Ave, Washington DC, 20001. Participants may be asked to serve as discussants on other papers. Lunch will be provided for participants, and limited funding is available to support travel for graduate students. This workshop is funded in part by the SNF Agora Institute.

 
Submission instructions:
Papers should address research questions related to levels of media diversity, democracy, and/or democratization. Applicants should email an abstract of approximately 150 words and a CV to [email protected] by 5:00pm ET on Wednesday March 27th. Graduate students seeking travel funding should note this in their email. Applicants will be notified of the decision on their submission by April 1. Papers to be circulated among workshop participants will be due by April 26th.
