[会议背景介绍]

Applications are now being received for the 2021 IAMCR Urban Communication Research Grant . The grant is worth USD 1,750 and supports communication and media research that advances understanding of the growing complexity of the urban environment. Applications are welcome from all IAMCR members in good standing.

Hosted by the International Association for Media and Communication Research and funded by the Urban Communication Foundation , 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 USD 1,750 grant is designed to support research already in progress or in the beginning stages. It gives priority to projects that feature innovative, interdisciplinary, applied, and creative approaches to studying the central role of communication in the transformation of urban cultures and communities.

A 5-person committee consisting of three IAMCR members and two Urban Communication Foundation representatives will judge the proposals. IAMCR representatives in the committee are Janet Wasko (Chair), Nico Carpentier, and Cees Hamelink. Urban Communication Foundation representatives are Gary Gumpert and Susan Drucker .

The grant is awarded each year at the annual IAMCR Conference, which will be hosted online by the United States International University-Africa in Nairobi, Kenya, July 11-15, 2021. Grant winners are expected to participate in 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.
