[csaa-forum] call for applications: 2020 IAMCR Urban Communication Research Grant

[nico CARPENTIER]

((with apologies for cross-posting))

The deadline for applications for the 2020 IAMCR Urban Communication 
Research Grant has been extended. It is now 30 April 2020.

The grant is worth USD 1,750 and supports communication and media 
research that advances understanding of the growing complexity of the 
urban environment. The grant is hosted by the International Association 
for Media and Communication Research and funded by the Urban 
Communication Foundation. 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.

The USD 1,750 grant is designed to support research already in progress 
or in the beginning stages. Priority is given 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. The grant is not intended for already 
completed research presented at the current IAMCR Conference in Tampere.

A 7-person committee consisting of five IAMCR members and two Urban 
Communication Foundation representatives will judge the proposals. IAMCR 
representatives in the committee are Nico Carpentier (Chair), Cees 
Hamelink, Janet Wasko, Aimée Vega Montiel and Olesya Venger. Urban 
Communication Foundation representatives are Gary Gumpert and Susan Drucker.

The grant is awarded each year at the annual IAMCR Conference, but this 
year it will be part of the online IAMCR conference, organised by 
Tampere University. Grant winners must report to IAMCR and the UCF on 
the progress of their research at the 2021 year conference, and are 
required to submit a paper for this conference.
