The EASP Meeting on Intergroup Communication aims to gather European and abroad scholars, junior and senior researchers whose work pertains to intergroup communication in a diverse, interdisciplinary framework.
The Meeting will accept contributions on classic and emerging themes of Intergroup Communication around four pillars:
- IC Processes: such as defining ingroup-outgroup boundaries, norms and roles of intergroup behaviours, accommodation, impression formation.
- IC Functions: such as emphasizing status differentials, maintaining power, expressing hate, hostility, or aggression, or negotiating intergroup common goals.
- IC Contexts: such as extremism and terrorism, reconciliation, inter-religion dialogue, gender identity, migration, new political social movements, online communities, fair language.
- IC Means and Tools: verbal, such as linguistic biases, public discourse, metaphors, humour and jokes, and non-verbal, such as mimicry, dressing styles, facial appearance, dance, music, imagined interactions.


All submissions should be completed online no later than the 31st of January 2019.
Later submissions will be processed only if there is space left on the Program.
The (early) registration fees will be 80€ for junior participants (PhD students and post-doctorate) and 150€ for senior participants. The fee will be reduced for individuals who (according to their declaration) cannot afford regular fees.
