IAMHIST is the International Association for Media and History, an organisation of scholars, filmmakers, broadcasters and archivists dedicated to historical enquiry into film, radio, TV and other related media. Its next biennial conference will take place in Kiel, northern Germany. The conference theme this year is CONFLICT RESOLUTION AND THE MEDIA. It looks at historical perspectives on how media have helped to overcome problems and crises - including European integration, the end of Apartheid in South Africa, democratisation after military dictatorships in South America or the empowerment of minorities. The conference, organised by Professor Tobias Hochscherf on behalf of the IAMHIST council, invites contributions from all who do research on media history. Participants are expected to give a 15 to 20 minute paper. You can register here; please fill out this form no later than 25 January 2022. Notifications of decisions will be sent alongside additional information on conference fees, travel and accommodation by early February 2022; registration will be open by that day. Conference attendees are expected to be members of IAMHIST – there will be an opportunity to join at the time of registration.
