[csaa-forum] 2017 Urban Communication Research Grant

[nico carpentier]

Applications are now being received for the 2017 IAMCR /Urban 
Communication Research Grant/. The grant is worth €1,500 and supports 
communication and media research that advances understanding of the 
growing complexity of the urban environment.

Hosted by the International Association for Media and Communication 
Research and funded by the Urban Communication Foundation 
<http://urbancomm.org>, this grant supports communication and media 
research that advances our understanding of the growing complexity of 
the urban environment. It is predicated on the assumption that 
communication scholars have a valuable contribution to make to an 
understanding of the urban landscape. The grant is open to all IAMCR 
members in good standing.

Complete information at: http://iamcr.org/ucf-iamcr-research-grant/2017

The €1500 grant is designed to support research already in progress or 
in the beginning stages. It gives priority to projects that feature 
innovative, inter-disciplinary, applied, and creative approaches to 
studying the central role of communication in the transformation of 
urban cultures and communities.

A 6-person committee consisting of four IAMCR members and two Urban 
Communication Foundation representatives will judge the proposals. IAMCR 
representatives in the committee are Nico Carpentier (Chair), Aimée 
Vega, Janet Wasko and Olesya Venger. Urban Communication Foundation 
representatives are Gary Gumpert and Susan Drucker.

The grant is awarded each year at the annual IAMCR Conference, this year 
scheduled for Catagena, Colombia on July 16-20, 2017. Grant winners are 
expected to attend the conference and present a paper related to urban 
communication. They must also report to IAMCR and the UCF on the 
progress of their research at the following year's conference, and 
submit a paper for this conference.
