"This collection presents 14 concepts from a multi-disciplinary collection of internationally leading and emerging scholars, from 13 countries on 5 continents. They come together around three meta-topics: citizenship and justice, critiques of development, and renewing thought (from and for the margins). The short chapter format ensures that authors get straight to the nub of their ideas, providing readers - students, scholars and practitioners alike - with accessible, engaging and innovative ways to think critically about communication and social change, in new ways." (Publisher description)
"This book is the outcome of an event held at Loughborough University’s London Campus in September 2017. That was made possible by funding from a range of sources: the Institute for Advanced Studies at Loughborough University; the School of Media, Communication and Sociology at the University of Leicester; and, an Australian Research Council project grant, Evaluating Communication for Development (LP130100176). This generous funding made it possible for the contributors to gather for three days, first for a public symposium kicked off by a keynote from John Downey, followed by a two-day conceptual hackathon."
