Introduction: The intellectual work of the 2011 ECREA European media and communication doctoral Summer School in Ljubljana
Abstrakt
The Summer School was established in the early 1990s by a consortium of ten (Western) European universities, initiated by the Universities of Stendhal (Grenoble, France) and Westminster (UK). From then on, these participating universities have organised annual summer schools for communication studies PhD students, which lasted for one or two weeks and took place in a wide range of locations, including Grenoble, Lund, Barcelona, London Helsinki and Tartu.
In 2010, the Summer School moved for the first time to the Department of Media and Communication Studies of the University of Ljubljana. In 2011, it ran from 14 to 27 August.
This chapter discusses the pedagogical principles of the Summer School, and introduces this year's Summer School book.
