<p>The International Association for Media and Communication Research (IAMCR) invites the submission of abstracts for its 2026 conference, to be held from
<strong>28 June to 2 July 2026</strong> in <strong>Galway, Ireland</strong>, and hosted by the
<strong>University of Galwa</strong>y. The deadline for submissions is <strong>3 February 2026 at 23:59 UTC</strong>.</p>
<p>The 2026 conference theme, <em>Peripheries and Connections: Media, Communication, and Transformation</em>, explores the complexities of contemporary media systems in an increasingly polarised yet interconnected world. By examining tensions between centrality
and marginality—geographical, cultural, political, or conceptual—the theme reflects IAMCR’s commitment to critical and inclusive dialogue. It also invites participants to consider how media navigate and challenge boundaries in addressing urgent issues such
as climate change, migration, representation, and digital inequalities.<br>

<strong>Working Groups</strong> (S/WGs), each of which has issued its own call for proposals. These calls outline specific thematic priorities and explain how the general theme can be addressed in ways that reflect the particular focus of each Section or Working
Group. <br>
