Presentation
| Video Barcelona PR Meeting (summary 2013 and CFP 2014) |
Barcelona PR Meeting #4 Configuring Intelligences for 21C Public Relations is the fourth International Conference to be staged annually by the Open University of Catalonia, the Pompeu Fabra University and the University of Waikato.
The conference will be held in Barcelona on 26 and 27 June 2014.
Public relation acknowledges the present as a time of rapid change, turbulence, and even transformation. This conference explores what configurations of knowledge might best fit the field to these challenges. Since at least Howard Gardner's (1993) Multiple Intelligences, there has been interest on what kinds of thinking and what kinds of knowledge are appropriate to changing environments -notably Gardner's (2009) own Five Minds for the Future. (NB we realise that for many in PR the classic cases, responses and strategies may still be capable of being configured to meet current and coming challenges so we also invite participants to continue present that material and argue for its ongoing relevance). The conference invites a wide range of contributions: that reflect, and that reflect on, the spectrum of possibilities of these conditions; that address current issues and trends; and that speculate on future pathways. The Conference co-chairs are David McKie (The Universtiy of Waikato), Jordi Xifra (Pompeu Fabra Universtiy) and Ferran Lalueza (Open University of Catalonia).
