Counter-Research Symposium

CMCI King's College London

Join us for the Counter-Research Symposium at King's College London!

James Clerk Maxwell Building

<h3>About the Symposium:</h3> Where: James Clerk Maxwell Building, Room JCMB G.16When: 27 February 2026; 09.00-17.30 pmThe Counter-Research Symposium is a one-day event organised by CRIMSON (Counter Research in Media Studies Organized Network), a new cross-institutional research network that centres research on marginalised, precarious, contentious, and often silenced communities. It supports media scholars and activists undertaking politically and emotionally complex work in challenging environments, including closed authoritarian regimes, and whose research directly confronts state and institutional power.The symposium will bring CRIMSON members together with invited participants to explore the meaning and stakes of counter-research in global media and communication studies - particularly in the context of rising right-wing populism and intensifying attacks on critical theories and DEI initiatives. It will also serve as a space for collective reflection on the methodological, ethical, and emotional challenges of conducting research that unsettles and confronts structures of the state, establishment, and academy. NB: If you have any dietary requirements or allergies, please let us know in advance so we can make appropriate arrangements. <h3>Keynote speaker</h3><a href="https://www.gold.ac.uk/media-communications/staff/n-fenton/" title="https://www.gold.ac.uk/media-communications/staff/n-fenton/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Natalie Fenton</a>, Professor of Media and Communications, Goldsmiths, University of London For more information, visit: <a href="https://www.crimson-research.com/about-7" title="https://www.crimson-research.com/about-7" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">https://www.crimson-research.com/about-7</a>
