SUMMARY:MPG x TIP Conference 'Navigating Digital Democracy' 8-9 January 2026 (online 7th Jan)
DESCRIPTION:MPG x TIP Conference ‘Navigating Digital Democracy’\, 8-9 January 2026 (online 7th Jan)\n\n\nYou are warmly invited to submit papers for presentation at the joint annual conference of the Political Studies Association’s Media and Politics Group & Technology\, Information and Policy Group \nThis year’s conference theme\, “Navigating Digital Democracy” will explore the intersection of technology\, media\, and politics in shaping democratic practices and governance. \nAs the digital landscape continues to evolve\, technology plays a central role in influencing political discourse\, policy development\, citizen engagement\, and the broader democratic process. From the amplification of polarizing and anti-democratic voices to the facilitation of political campaigning and pro-democracy movements\, the dynamics of digital technology are both challenging and enriching the foundations of democratic societies. This conference seeks to critically examine the opportunities and risks technology presents in these areas. \nWe welcome paper submissions that address any of the following topics*: \n\nDo digital platforms impact citizen engagement and connection? How do digital platforms facilitate civic engagement\, political participation\, democratise political representation\, and allow for access to the political process?\nWhat is the role of digital platforms in political campaigning? How are digital technologies and platforms reshaping campaign strategies\, political marketing\, civic participants\, and voter engagement?\nThe amplification of polarising and anti-democratic voices through digital platforms: how do social media platform rules and algorithms impact political discussion\, polarisation\, and harmful rhetoric?\nWhat role do digital platforms play in informing or misinforming citizens? What are the ethical implications of misinformation\, what are the consequences of misinformation on political trust and accountability?\nWhat role do deepfake and AI-generated images play in shaping political narratives?\nHow are digital platforms impacting social movements and democratic engagement? Are digital platforms providing spaces for pro-democracy movements in otherwise hostile states\, are they havens of free speech or do they offer limited offline impact?\nThe impact of generative technology on policy development; how does this simplify complex issues\, perpetuate inequalities\, or aid swift and dynamic changes to legislation?\nWhat is the role of digital games in contemporary politics? How can digital games be used to promote civic engagement and political awareness? How have online multiplayer games become spaces for political discussion and activism?\n\nWe encourage submissions from a variety of disciplinary perspectives\, including but not limited to political science\, media studies\, communication\, sociology\, law\, and technology studies. Submissions are welcomed from scholars at all career stages\, including PhD candidates and early-career researchers\, as well as practitioners engaged in media\, politics or related fields. \n*While the main theme of this conference is navigating digital democracy\, the MPG and TIP operate an open and inclusive policy\, and papers dealing with any aspect of media\, technology and politics are welcomed. Papers may focus on areas from political communication and journalism to data\, artificial intelligence\, social media and tech policy; but also include a broader view of the political sphere within such areas as television\, cinema and media arts\, both factual and fictional. In addition to academic research\, the conference will also welcome practice-based work in art\, film and performance related to the area of media and politics. \n  \n\n  \nThere are two ways to attend this conference. There is an in-person conference held in Bournemouth\, UK\, on 8-9 January 2026. For those who cannot make it in person but who wish to participate\, we will host an online conference on 7th January 2026. Both will include a keynote presentation (TBA). \nPlease note this is not a hybrid conference and the in-person conference will not be streamed online. \n\n\n
