CFP Theorizing Transcultural Communication

“PublicationCall for papers, Special Issue: Theorizing Transcultural Communication: Paradigms and Approaches, Journal of Transcultural Communication. Deadline: April 15, 2021.

Sponsored by Beijing Foreign Studies University and Published by Sage, Journal of Transcultural Communication (JTC) will be a new international academic platform dedicated to the publication of interdisciplinary researches into theories and practices of transcultural communication.
Built upon the long-standing scholarship in the arenas of cross-cultural communication, intercultural communication, and international communication, JTC focuses on transcultural communication, which is defined as a paradigmatic shift to a broader field of research concerning both differences between cultures and cultural transformations that go beyond those differences in an increasingly globalizing and networking society.

The inaugural issue, scheduled to publish in September 2021 and themed “Theorizing Transcultural Communication: Paradigms and Approaches”, is now inviting original articles. Prospective contributions are expected to define and discuss the theoretical boundary, core concepts, analytical framework, and practical implications of transcultural communication transcending the existing works in relation to the interplay between culture and communication.

In addition to the special issue, submissions are welcome to future issues of the journal.

In line with the mission of the PhD in Communication Program of Istanbul Bilgi University, IPCC prioritises solidarity. Thus, the conference promotes a platform for the co-creation of knowledge, facilitated by free-form discussion sessions.

All PhD students or candidates, as well as early career researchers with PhDs earned in the last 5 years, who are interested in examining, expressing and exploring the current and possible implications of collaborations within their field of interest, are welcome to submit their proposal and join the discussion. Contributions may include but are not limited to the topics provided.

How are we attentive to collaborations? In a time marked by biological, political, social and economic crises, the IPCC shifts its focus towards practices of solidarity, of labouring together and building new communities within the scope of communication and beyond.
