5th International Interdisciplinary Online Conference
Media in America, America in Media
Where: Online
When: March 27th – March 28th, 2025
Description: This is the fifth edition of a joint effort of American Studies and Communication and Journalism scholars from Maria Curie-Skłodowska University in Lublin, Poland, who aim to generate a cross-disciplinary debate that brings together divergent yet complementary voices reflecting on American media environment and America’s portrayals in media across the globe. The 5th edition of our interdisciplinary conference will be held in conjunction with the Erasmus+ project MigraMedia, which connects a consortium of seven European universities dedicated to exploring the representation of migration in visual media within social and transnational contexts.
This year’s conference delves into the multifaceted concept of “borders”—geographical, cultural, social, ideological and metaphorical. We aim to explore how borders are constructed, represented, and contested in media, and how these representations impact and reflect societal attitudes towards migration, inclusion, and diversity.
Institution: Maria Curie-Sklodowska University
