Introducing the PolComm ECR Club – a new monthly online forum for early career researchers in political communication! This initiative is open to PhD students & postdocs (≤4 yrs post-PhD) in the ECPR or ECREA polcom sections.
Our Standing Group on Political Communication, in cooperation with the ECREA Political Communication Section, is thrilled to present the PolComm ECR Club – a monthly online forum for Early Career Researchers (ECRs) in political communication.
Are you a PhD student and a junior PostDoc (until 4 years after PhD) researching political communication? Looking for a supportive space to present your work, receive constructive feedback, and connect with peers across institutions? The PolComm ECR Lounge is here for you!
This monthly session provides ECRs with the opportunity to present and discuss their research, broadly defined within political communication.
The idea is to create an (online) safe space in which we can bring ECRs from different institutions together (= networking), help them to understand and navigate the (often unwritten) rules of academia (= socialising) and, of course, help them develop their research (= feedback on research) by receiving detailed constructive feedback from peers and senior researchers.
The session will help ECRs to present their work, receive feedback from a dedicated discussant, and engage in an interactive Q&A with peers. Beyond presentations, the ECR Lounge is a community where members support each other, exchange ideas, and build academic networks.
Each session follows a structured but informal format:
We encourage participants to attend regularly, not only to present but also to engage with others’ work, which fosters an environment of collaboration and shared learning.
If you're interested in joining, sign up for upcoming sessions and discussions. See the 'How to Join' tab for more details.
The event is completely FREE to attend. It's aimed at early career researchers, but we welcome all colleagues.
Registration is required and will apply to the 2025 academic year.
You will need a My ECPR account to register. If you don't have one, you can create it here, even if you are not affiliated with an ECPR Member institution.
Are you interested in discussing your research with the group or serve as a discussant?
Please get in touch with the organising team.
Why join?
The Standing Group on Political Communication encompasses research investigating the interactions amongst politics, media and the public. Areas of interest include, for example, research pertaining to the interaction between journalists and politicians, and the influence of media on politics, and vice versa, more broadly (media-politics); the impact of media on public opinion and electoral behaviour, as well as shifts in media in response to public preferences (media-public); the impact of public opinion on the behaviour and attitudes of political elites, and the direct communication of politicians with the public (politics-public).
