<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;background:white"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;line-height:115%">The Australian and New Zealand Communications Association’s annual conference will be held on 9-11 July, 2014 at Swinburne University in Melbourne
Australia.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;background:white"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;line-height:115%">The conference theme for 2014 is:
</span><b><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size:10.0pt;line-height:115%;mso-fareast-language:EN-AU">‘The digital and the social: communication for inclusion and exchange’<o:p></o:p></span></b></p>
<p style="margin:0cm;margin-bottom:.0001pt;text-align:justify;line-height:normal">
<span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"">With communication becoming increasingly ‘social’, there have been unprecedented opportunities for people to communicate across geographic, political and economic divides. Social media platforms
reach across barriers of distance, time and culture to create a decentralised and increasingly interactive communications environment. A</span><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"">t home, at play, and at work, social
media is increasingly a part of our everyday lives.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p style="margin:0cm;margin-bottom:.0001pt;text-align:justify;line-height:normal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif""><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;line-height:115%">The utopian vision is that these platforms satisfy diverse communication needs: they allow internet users to protest, to raise awareness of social issues, to publicise
political actions, to unify minority voices and to create new media forms. However more recently critics have cautioned that social and digital media have also been used for surveillance, to stifle communication, to repress minorities and to ensure violent
sanction against those who press for political or economic change.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;line-height:115%">The ANZCA Melbourne 2014 conference is focussed on social media, broadly defined, and the paradoxical nature of our ubiquitous communications environment. The conference
recognises that while social media is reorganising the communications environment it is simultaneously giving rise to diverse and complex forms of social change. The conference also recognises the long and diverse histories of social media, which predate current
Web 2.0 platforms.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;background:white"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;line-height:115%">We invite papers that examine
</span><span lang="EN" style="font-size:10.0pt;line-height:115%;mso-fareast-language:EN-AU">how social media is influencing our understanding of social inclusion and exchange and what the implications are for communications and media. Topics may include, but
are not limited to:<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;line-height:115%">-the possibilities for inclusion across social divides using social and digital media
