Event: Exciting News: Call for Conference Abstracts! |

Durban University of Technology is hosting an international hybrid conference in association with the Journal of Media and Rights (JMR) (15-18 September 2024) "Harmony in Crisis: Critical Discussions Towards Social Justice".
We are members of a global society impacted by the rise of populism, factionalism, and a post-truth mentality where information is politicised and even weaponised as part of a widespread attack on civil liberties. But Clark and Aufderheide succinctly argue that citizens participating in critical projects understand that they are members of a common society connected by issues ‘in which they all see themselves as having a stake’. Projects in the humanities and social sciences therefore have the potential to inspire social reformation, which in turn ‘keeps democracies democratic’ by holding those in power accountable. Creating activist projects can therefore be a ‘transformative act of communication’ in the face of social injustice (2009, 11-12).
We welcome contributions that explore these complexities. Please send 300-word abstracts via the following link by 31 May 2024: https://rb.gy/d6dfnk
