Call for paper proposals:
Scientific Disinformation: A Transnational Public Problem
28 February - 1 March 2024, in Quebec, Canada
Organized by the Bell Chair of Science Journalism at Université Laval
From February 28 to March 1st, the Laval University in Québec (Canada) held the international conference on "Scientific Disinformation: A Transnational Public Problem". The conference seeks to promote a debate on the emergence and visibility of scientific disinformation on the public agenda and to reveal the system of conventions of science journalism, seen as a mediator of debates and as a space for discussion where various claim-makers converge, including journalists.
We invite interested researchers to submit a proposal by June 15, 2023 to one of the four conference axes: 1. The media representation of the problem of scientific disinformation; 2. The participation of journalists as claim-makers; 3. The strategies deployed by other claim-makers; and; 4. The transnational circulation of the problem of scientific disinformation.
Proposals (300 words in Word format) can be submitted in English or French, to journalisme-scientifique.chaire@com.ulaval.ca. Please indicate on the document the name(s) and affiliation(s) of the author(s), a title, an abstract, a list of references cited and< the axis of the Colloquium to which the proposal is related. The proposed papers must necessarily start from empirical research (corpus or field). Special attention will be given to papers that have a comparative ambition or that seek to highlight the different national configurations of the problem of scientific disinformation. Scientific journalism, doctoral students and researchers from the "Global South" are welcome to submit proposals.
