Hi everyone,
I want to let you know about an interdisciplinary conference I'm helping to
organize: the Media Law & Policy Scholars Conference. We welcome papers
that study free speech, free press, access to information, intellectual
property, data privacy, emerging technologies and other related law and
policy issues from a variety of theoretical perspectives and methodologies.
Details are found below.
We are looking for abstract submissions, which are due September 3, 2021.
Thank you!
Best,
Baobao Zhang

MLPSC 2022: Call for Abstracts
We invite you to submit an abstract for the Media Law & Policy Scholars
Conference (MLPSC 2021), which will take place online on January 13 & 14,
2022.
MLPSC is not like other big conferences you may normally attend. It is an
interdisciplinary, paper workshop. The goal is to provide advice and
support for works-in-progress – to deepen their intellectual and
theoretical impact. We interpret media law and policy broadly, welcoming
scholars from around the world who study free speech, free press, access to
information, intellectual property, data privacy, emerging technologies and
other related law and policy issues from a variety of theoretical
perspectives and methodologies. Our goal is to include scholars and
practitioners from law, journalism & communication, philosophy, political
science, information systems, sociology, history, business and myriad other
disciplines.
The MLPSC format pays tribute to the intellectually engaging and rewarding
experiences we have had at conferences like We Robot, Privacy Law Scholars
Conference and the Law & Society Association. At MLPSC, authors do not
present their papers. A discussant introduces and leads discussion on the
paper. Everyone responds in a dialogue about the work. We don’t convene
panels or have other “talking head” sessions – everyone gets to contribute
to a robust and intellectually engaging conversation intended to help
authors move their papers forward and to spur research ideas and questions
for further study.
SUBMITTING AN ABSTRACT
Should you wish to have your paper considered for workshopping, please
submit an abstract of no more than 1000 words, including a title, by Sept.
3, 2021. In addition please submit a separate cover sheet with your name,
title, affiliation and contact information. You should submit your abstract
as a Microsoft Word file so that we can ensure blind peer review. We will
announce accepted abstracts on September 20, 2021.
Email us if you encounter any problems.

PAPER SUBMISSION
https://forms.gle/Cw2zX8P3JY1oU8cA6
Workshop versions of accepted papers will be due Friday, December 10, 2021
@ midnight ET. Because MLPSC is built around workshopping papers, we
reserve the right to cancel your workshop if the paper draft is not
provided sufficiently in advance for meaningful evaluation by participants.
PREPARING FOR MLPSC
Conference participants will be expected to register for a nominal fee and
to read the papers in advance. Papers will be introduced with only a few
brief remarks so as to maximize time for rigorous discussion. Please plan
to calendar at least one full day of preparation time in advance of MLPSC.
