"New Media and Participation" Conference

The New Media and Participation Conference (22–23 November, BAU Galata), organized in cooperation between the BAU Faculty of Communication and COST, opens to discussion how new media technologies can enable users' democratic participation.

How is new media used in global social movements, and how does it affect them? Can users' online discussions be regarded as political participation? How can online environments be made functional for broader audiences' direct participation in politics?

Presentations that open these questions to discussion and seek to produce answers will take place on 22–23 November at the BAU Galata building with the participation of academics from Europe and Türkiye. In addition to the panels held over two days,Nico Carpentier from the Free University of Brussels and Peter Dahlgren from Lund Universitywill meet the conference participants as keynote speakers.
