Call for submissions: Global Communication and Global Governance, Xiamen University, China, 29-31 May 2026. Deadline: 1 March 2026.
Xiamen University is pleased to announce an international communication conference on “Global Communication and Global Governance,” organized in collaboration with members of the National Communication Association (NCA) and leaders from the Communication University of China (CUC). The conference will be held at Xiamen University, China, from May 29 to 31, 2026. Under this overarching theme, organizers invite research presentations that engage broadly with the communication discipline, particularly within three thematic tracks; the one most likely to be relevant to followers of the Center for Intercultural Dialogue is:
Theme 2: Video Trends in Intercultural and International Communication
From short-form video, proliferating entertainment platforms, and livestreaming to documentaries, viral clips, and transnational media flows, video has become a central site of cultural expression, negotiation, and contestation. This track foregrounds video as a key mode of symbolic action in intercultural and international communication, inviting scholarship that examines how video technologies and practices shape representation, identity, power relations, and cross-cultural understanding. They invite scholarship on platform cultures, digital storytelling, creator and influencer economies, diasporic media, and the transnational circulation of video across linguistic and cultural boundaries, foregrounding dialogue on how evolving video practices are transforming intercultural communication. They welcome perspectives that critically engage how contemporary video trends both enable and constrain intercultural and international dialogue in an increasingly mediated and contested global environment.
