Mobile Comm Social Events, The Annual ICA Conference, May 2021
The Mobile Communication Interest Group Community is very much looking forward to seeing old friends and making new ones virtually this year! We are organizing three social events for our members and new scholars interested or working in Mobile Comm. Details below, also see https://www.icamobile.org/ica-2021 for more information.
The 1st event: Mobile Comm Lit Hunt
Get ready to look into some old and some new Mobile Comm Literature! It is easy, quick, and fun to participate in! There are four short literature hunt tasks in the week before the virtual ICA from 20th to 26th May, 2021.
You can register here: https://kmrc.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_1BP8yjd6c93Nl4O
The 2nd event: Mobile Comm Pitch & Connect
These are synchronous networking sessions during ICA. You can join each of the sessions to make a short pitch about a current project/idea or your research philosophy to a group of other MCIG scholars and connect over them to get to know each other.
Three sessions to make time zone allowances will take place on:
Fr, May, 28 UTC 3 p.m. (e.g., 9 a.m. in Denver; 8.30. p.m. in New Delhi, etc.)
Sa, May, 29. UTC 7 a.m. (e.g., 12.30. p.m. in New Delhi; 3 p.m. in Tokyo, etc.)
Su, May, 30 UTC 0 a.m. (e.g., 9 a.m. in Tokyo; May, 29, 6 p.m. in Denver, etc.)
The 3rd event: Mobile Comm Global South Networking
This event is for scholars coming from the Global South, doing research on the Global South, and anyone who is interested in the event. There will be two sessions including short meet and greets as well as a bigger group chat for us to get to know one another and discuss shared ideas and concerns.
Two sessions to make time zone allowances will take place on:
Sa, May, 29 UTC 2 p.m. (e.g., 4 p.m. in Cape Town; 11 a.m. in Rio de Janeiro, etc)
