4th International SEARCH Conference 2015
Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia
28-29 May 2015

The 4th International SEARCH Conference offers an occasion for experts, academics and researchers alike to come together to consider pressing issues in an open forum; seeking to define questions, pursue answers, search for research synergies and more; to both reflect on the recent past, and look forward to the future; to exchange ideas and findings in a congenial atmosphere.

Our conference theme is 'Managing Crises and Risks in Communication'; a title that speaks of a twofold aim of promoting good communication and handling crises and risks with care. We hope to foster sophisticated dialogue regarding communication issues that arise from handling crises as well as risks. This requires recognizing that communication is an important feature when it can be turned into one-dimensional headlines or promoting stereotypes.

We welcome contributions related to the main theme, but which could also, among others, focus on:
Language and Linguistics
Education
Advertising
Journalism
Public Relations and Marketing
Media Studies
Psychology and other disciplines dealing with the conference theme
