Event details
The Media Ecology Association is an international, not-for-profit organization dedicated to promoting the study, research, criticism, and application of media ecology in educational, industry, political, civic, social, cultural, and artistic contexts, and the open exchange of ideas, information, and research.
As an Affiliate Organization to the NCA, the Media Ecology Association seeks submissions that focus on the study of media as environments and attend the study of media as media. While encouraging any and all submissions related to media ecology, we especially welcome submissions that portray, research, or enhance the convention theme of “MOVE/MENTS in Communication.” The NCA theme “invites you to consider the nominal form of movement to explore the various social, cultural, and political movements that have come to define the discipline and practice of communication. What sort of movements will emerge in the face of the generational challenges – microbial, political, technological, ecological – we face today? How will communication practice emerge and evolve out of such movements?”
