The Diederich College of Communication will welcome researchers from around the country at the 2027 AEJMC Midwinter Conference from March 4-6 in Johnston Hall.
“We are thrilled to welcome communication researchers from a variety of disciplines and life perspectives to Milwaukee to collaborate, learn and ultimately make each other’s work better,” said conference chair Dr. Patrick Johnson, assistant professor of journalism and media studies.
The Midwinter Conference will feature research seminars, panels of experts, networking sessions, and a conference-wide teaching track for people hoping to grow their pedagogical skills. It will conclude with the annual Nieman Symposium, which will feature a keynote speech and panel discussion on holding the powerful accountable through journalism.
The Association for Education in Journalism and Mass Communication is a nonprofit organization of educators, students and media professionals. The AEJMC’s mission is to promote the highest possible standards for journalism and mass communication education and research, as well as to encourage the implementation of a multi-cultural society in classrooms and curricula across the country.
“As one of the AEJMC’s founding members, Marquette has consistently championed the causes of free expression and open inquiry in all areas of mass communication,” said Dr. Sarah Feldner, dean of the Diederich College of Communication. “We look forward to celebrating that history at this year’s midwinter conference and working with our peers across higher education to expand that legacy.”
Submissions for papers to be presented at the conference are due by Dec. 15, with selected authors being notified by Jan. 15. Papers can be submitted in more than a dozen AEJMC-recognized categories. For more information on the categories and how to submit, consult our guidelines.
