Twelfth International Conference on Communication & Media Studies, Toronto Metropolitan University, Toronto, Canada, 13-15 October 2027

Founded in 2015, the Communication & Media Studies Research Network offers an interdisciplinary forum for the discussion of the role of the media and communications in society. We seek to build an epistemic community where we can make linkages across disciplinary, geographic, and cultural boundaries. As a Research Network, we are defined by our scope and concerns and motivated to build strategies for action framed by our shared themes and tensions.

The Twelfth International Conference on Communication & Media Studies will address the following annual themes and special focus:

Theme 1: AI and Automated Production Workflows
