CRISIS2021
February 5
An invitation also to the first in a series of IPRA endorsed online events called CRISIS2021. This live event, entitled Covid-19: Learning and consequences for international crisis communication research and practice, takes place on Friday 5 February 2021 from 16.00 – 18.00 CET. The event is organised by the crisis communication section of ECREA (European Communication Research and Education Association). A keynote will be made by IPRA President, Philippe Borremans.
The coronavirus pandemic has been a disruptive and tragic experience for societies around the world. For the crisis communication community, the pandemic is an issue of importance, calling for academic and professional exchanges that reach beyond national borders. Your specific expertise is welcome in order to discuss the following questions:
- During the pandemic, what have we learned about crisis communication by governments, organizations, health experts, and the media?
- What are the consequences crisis researchers and practitioners need to draw from this pandemic? And what should be on the research agenda for the next few years?
These questions will be introduced in four keynotes:
- Philippe Borremans, president IPRA, speaking on Crisis and emergency risk communication – the need for an integrated approach.
- Professor Yan Jin, University of Georgia, USA, speaking on Gaining insights from a multi-methodological approach to crisis learning and pandemic communication management.
- Professor Matthew Seeger, dean of the College of Fine, Performing and Communication Arts, Wayne State University, USA, who will address Communicating death and dying during crises – uncertainty, equivocality and strategic ambiguity.
