Propaganda and neutrality: alternative battlegrounds and active deflection is an international conference organised by the University of Kent’s Centre for the History of War, Media and Society, with the collaboration of the Institute of Historical Research in London and the University of Las Palmas de Gran Canaria. Given the current circumstances we are currently planning on the basis of a fully virtual conference that will take place the 24th and the 25th of June 2021. The link to the online platform will be sent to all registered users when the event approaches.
Propaganda and Neutrality’ conference plans to explore issues around the role of propaganda in neutral states. The CFP was opened to academics and postgraduate students who are studying the role of propaganda in neutral states. Topics will cover activities in neutral and nonbelligerent states during times of military conflict – notably the World Wars and the Cold War such as Spain, Belgium, Portugal, Sweden, United States, Ireland, Switzerland and Turkey. The event will cover all aspects of propaganda and neutrality, including discussions on late Twentieth Century cross-continental interactions.
The event will bring together a total of 28 academics from all over the world and the panels will be chaired by prominent researchers that will create an excellent environment for debate and discussion.
Keynote speaker: Professor Jo Fox
