The purpose of this two-day summer school, hosted by the Reuters Institute for the Study of Journalism at the University of Oxford, is to explore the potential qualitative methods for comparative scholarship in journalism and media.
The summer school, to be held on September 11-12, 2017, will focus on methodological issues involved in advancing genuinely comparative and internationally-oriented qualitative research on journalism and news media; theoretical discussions that can help structure such work and clarify its contribution; helping the participants developing their own individual research.
Seminars at the summer school will be led by Lucas Graves, Rasmus Kleis Nielsen, and Annika Sehl.
To apply to take part, please send an abstract of no more than 500 words outlining the central research question, empirical basis, and driving hypotheses and intellectual stakes of the work that you would like to present to Philippa Garson at philippa.garson@politics.ox.ac.uk no later than May 31.
Please direct practical questions to her, and substantive questions about the program to Lucas Graves at lucas.graves@wisc.edu.
