Emerging Scholars Network

The aims of the Emerging Scholars Network are to bring young-at-heart scholars together, to create and maintain lines of communication with researchers internationally, to promote universal values of solidarity, peace, equality and respect, to work on new ideas for research and teaching and to create an umbrella for future projects that are related to the study and analysis of communication.

This Network brings young-at-heart scholars together, to create and maintain lines of communication with researchers internationally, to promote universal values of solidarity, peace, equality and respect, to work on new ideas for research and teaching and to create an umbrella for future projects that are related to the study and analysis of communication. At conferences it attracts a wide range of papers that are discussed in an environment aimed at providing mentoring and networks that scholars can continue to build upon in their careers.
