The Radio Conference 2009: A Transnational Forum

Location: York University, Toronto, Canada,
Dates: July 27-30th, 2009

This conference – the fifth transnational forum – aims to continue the
work of Sussex 2001, Madison, Wisconsin 2003 Melbourne 2005 and
Lincoln 2007 to bring together scholars, practitioners, and students
of radio to share ideas and perspectives on radio's cultural role in
an increasingly global media context.
We welcome proposals and abstracts for papers, panels, and symposia on
all aspects of radio – historical, cultural, critical, and
institutional – including investigations of the changing form and
content of radio and its associated audio media.

Preference will be given to papers and panels which report on current
empirical research, introduce innovations in learning and teach ing
strategies, or engagement with key areas of theory or debate in radio
studies.

You may submit proposals for individual papers, pre-constituted
panels, or symposia. Papers should be in English primarily. Should
there be sufficient interest, French and/or bilingual panels may be
formed.  See our website at
