Preconference: Digital Asia: Recent Research and Practice

Thu, May 25, 9:00 to 17:00, Hilton San Diego Bayfront, Floor: 5, Cobalt 500

Session Submission Type: Panel

Abstract

This preconference aims to showcase innovative scholarly work examining various subjects concerning the role of social media, mobile phones, and other new communication technologies in the formation of democratic citizenship writ large—in Asia. The preconference seeks studies that address relevant topics in a particular Asian county, and comparative research on Asian countries, or Asian and non-Asian countries, is also welcome. In particular, the preconference encourages a theory-driven analysis of the role of new media in real-world, offline civic and political action, including recent elections and civic mobilization for sustainable development in environmental, economic, and social well-being. In addition, scholars whose research concerns the overall ICA conference theme, Intervention: Communication Research and Practice, in an Asian-context are encouraged to submit a paper.
