</div><div><br></div><div>From the sign-theoretical approach of C. S. Peirce to the pragmatic analyses of Robert Brandom, matters of communication have figured prominently in pragmatist thought. Beginning with John Dewey and Robert E. Park, pragmatism has also directly influenced communication scholarship; and interest in pragmatist ideas iscurrently on the rise in media and communication studies. </div>
<div><br></div><div>But what roles does ‘communication’ actually play in pragmatisms of various stripes? What are the distinctive contributions of pragmatism to our understanding and study of communication?</div><div><br>
</div><div>This three-day interdisciplinary conference aims to explore these and closely connected questions. The organisers welcome proposals for papers discussing any aspect of the relationship between pragmatism and communication, ranging from philosophical discussions of the nature and scope of communication to applications of pragmatist ideas in communication studies.</div>
<div><br></div><div>Please note the updated schedule: the conference dates have been extended to 3-5 June. The program is planned to begin on the afternoon of the first day, enabling arrival early on 3 June.</div><div><br>
