MERJ Conversations

This strand of the conference offers a different platform for the exchange of research, practice and innovation in the broad field of creative, arts and media education. Presenters are asked to provide some preparatory material (of any kind) for delegates to access before the conference via the conference website.

During the session, presenters briefly summarise the key themes and questions arising from the material, followed by a chaired seminar-style discussion. Contributors to this strand are invited to write up and submit their work to the Media Education Research Journal for the issue following the Summit.

We are now accepting abstracts of no more than 200 words (excluding references). Your abstract should be double-space and in Arial font no less than size 12. Submissions can be made in either a Word document or in RTF format.
