Finally my copy of the collected edition "Soziale Ungleicheit und soziales Kapital" arrived in Salzburg :)

The paper of Martina and I is to befound on pages 91 to 96 and I'm proud of the short chapter detailing why young and female journalists have to fight against structural challanges in the Austrian journalistic field.

The longer, follow up article "Jung, weiblich, Journalistin: Endstation Prekariat?" which was written by the same team over the last few month will be published in the "Momentum Quarterly" journal soon.

Discourse, Communication, Conversation in Loughborough

During March 2012 I was in Lougbourgh and presented my paper '9/11 and the Realignment of Narratives after Cultural Traumata' at the DDC conference and visited the quite excellent methods and methodology workshop by Emily Keightley,Cristian Tileagă, and Michael Pickering.

Sadly there was not enough time for discussion at the presentation and because of a very tight program I did not get to discuss as much about my work as I hoped to, but I had the honor to meet several very interesting PhD candidates - Canada, Italy, Spain, Germany - and we had very good discussions. 

And I realized that several theoretical implications I had about my work have to be reevaluated,... Paris and the Crossroads conference may give me the opportunity to do so...

IAMCR 2011 - Istanbul

A busy, hot city and a beautiful university gave the backdrop for the IAMCR 2011 conference 'Cities, Creativity & Connectivity' and offered Susanne Kirchhoff and me the opportunity to present the paper ' Changes in Media, Changes in Practice? –The Shifts of the Journalistic Field as a Challenge' which summarized key findings from the project 'Journalismus im Wandel' from Roman Hummel, Susanne Kirchhoff and me.

While we had several technical problems and could not load our slides for the presentation, we had a very good session and came into contact with lots of interesting people and interested people.

Many great presentations were held and Susan Keith and Seobing Hwang, Andreas Hepp are only a few of the people whose presentations were from interest to me and my work on international comparisons of historisation processes.
