[acc-cca-l] news about IAMCR's 2019 conference in Madrid

[Bruce Girard]

Last week IAMCR's newsletter was sent to members. It included 
information about our upcoming conference, some of which we include here 
for the benefit of non-members (who are welcome to join IAMCR and/or to 
attend the conference).

Hosted by the Complutense University in Madrid, Spain, the conference 
will take place from 7 - 11 July 2019. The conference website is at 
https://iamcr.org/madrid2019 in English and 
https://iamcr.org/es/madrid2019-es in Spanish.

You can consult the general call for proposals 
<https://iamcr.org/madrid2019/cfp> as well as the specific calls of 
IAMCR's 32 thematic sections and working groups 
<https://iamcr.org/madrid2019/s-wg-cfp>.

All proposals must be submitted through IAMCR's Open Conference System 
(OCS) at https://iamcr-ocs.org 
<https://iamcr-ocs.org/index.php/2019/2019>. The OCS site opened on 3 
December and will remain open to receive your proposals until the *8 
February 2019 deadline*.

The newsletter included a letter from Loreto Corredoira 
<https://iamcr.org/news/letter-from-2019-loc>, head of the local 
organising committee. Among other things, Loreto announced the names of 
two invited speakers: Spanish philosopher, essayist and playwright, 
Javier Gomá 
<https://iamcr.org/madrid2019/javier-gom%C3%A1-will-open-iamcr-madrid-2019>, 
and Cuban blogger, Yoani Sánchez 
<https://iamcr.org/madrid2019/yoani-s%C3%A1nchez-will-share-colloquium-participants-iamcr-madrid-2019>. 


Members were also reminded that IAMCR will make several awards and 
grants available to its members in 2019. The deadline to apply is 7 
April 2019. Awards include:

  * the IAMCR 2019 award in memory of Herbert I. Schiller - US$1,000
    awarded to a student or young scholar, member of IAMCR, for an
    outstanding paper accepted for presentation at IAMCR 2019.
  * the UCF/IAMCR Urban Communication Research Grant
  * the New Directions for Climate Communication Research Fellowship
  * twenty IAMCR Travel Grants for early-stage scholars
    <https://iamcr.org/travel_grants/travel-grants-2019> - up to
    US$1,500 for members who are early-stage scholars and would
    otherwise be unable to attend our conferences. Applicants must have
    a proposal accepted for presentation at the conference.

Finally, don't forget the experiment with video presentations being 
conducted by 5 sections and working groups. Their joint call for video 
presentations <https://iamcr.org/madrid2019/cfp/video> is on the 2019 
website.
