The Call for Papers for the International History of Public Relations Conference (IHPRC) 2016 has been launched. The seventh IHPRC will be held on 6-7 July 2016 at Bournemouth University in southern England.<\/p>\n
The \u2018her-story\u2019 of public relations, which emphasizes the under-researched role of women in the formation and expansion of public relations, will be added to the already wide range of conference themes, said conference chair Dr Tasos Theofilou.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe worldwide expansion of public relations has been mainly told from a male perspective. From the early 20th<\/sup> century women were involved as practitioners, educators and researchers. It\u2019s time that greater focus is given to the \u2018her-story\u2019, especially as women are the larger gender in PR employment,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n The first key date is Monday 14 December when Abstracts are due. A worldwide academic peer review panel will assess them. Authors will be advised in late January 2016 about acceptance of their abstracts for development into conference papers and presentations.<\/p>\n Please use this link to access the IHPRC 2016 – CALL FOR PAPERS<\/a>.<\/p>\n In other news, Dr Theofilou announced that conference registration fees would be unchanged for a further year. Registration will open in January.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The Call for Papers for the International History of Public Relations Conference (IHPRC) 2016 has been launched.
