Histories, Presents and Futures of Media and Communication

CAMRI, University of Westminster (Little Titchfield St), 22-23 May 2025

In 1975 the first undergraduate Media degree in the UK was launched at the Polytechnic of Central London, now the University of Westminster. To celebrate the fiftieth anniversary of this foundational moment, Westminster’s Communication and Media Research Institute (CAMRI) has invited proposals for presentations at a two-day conference in central London on 22 and 23 May 2025. The papers and panels reflect upon aspects of the histories, presents, or futures of the field of Media and Communication. What lessons can we learn from the emergence, shaping and development of this field? Where are we now and how do we matter? And how can we respond as a field to those future challenges — political, social, cultural, environmental, technological — that we can anticipate?
