2021 ANPOR-APCA Annual Conference

Understanding Wellbeing in Asian Societies: The Impact of Digital Media on Environmental and Social Resilience

December 14, 2021
On-site & Virtual Conference
Bangkok, Thailand

Rationale

The Asian Network for Public Opinion Research (ANPOR) and the Asia-Pacific Communication Alliance (APCA) have facilitated communication among scholars, practitioners, journalists, and students from various countries to participate and contribute to the betterment of Asia and Pacific societies through the lens of public opinion, journalism, and communication research. Throughout the past years, the ANPOR and APCA have successfully crafted friendships and collaborations among scholars and institutions in Asia and other regions.

Since January 2019, the COVID-19 pandemic has undoubtedly changed a lot of things for us, primarily how an international academic community should be run and how we could maintain effective communication with strict travel bans. As academic communities, ANPOR and APCA need to stay connected and encourage each other with high-quality research projects.

To cherish the spirit of ANPOR and APCA networking in this time’s disruptive transformation and to commemorate the 9th year of ANPOR and the 4th year of APCA, you are cordially invited to submit abstracts and papers to present at the on-site and online conference.  This year, the theme of our conference is “Understanding Wellbeing in Asian Societies: The Impact of Digital Media on Environmental and Social Resilience.”

Thus the 2021 ANPOR-APCA Annual Conference hopes to engage academics from across the regions within the central theme of public opinion and multicultural communication.
