International Association for Literary Journalism Studies
“Literary Journalism: Text and Context”
The Eighth International Conference for Literary Journalism Studies (IALJS-8)

University of Tampere
School of Communication, Media and Theatre
Tampere, Finland
16-18 May 2013

The International Association for Literary Journalism Studies conference hopes to be a forum for scholarly work of both breadth and depth in the field of literary journalism. For the purpose of scholarly delineation, our definition of literary journalism is "journalism as literature" rather than "journalism about literature." All submissions are in English.

The International Association for Literary Journalism Studies is a multi-disciplinary learned society whose essential purpose is the encouragement and improvement of scholarly research and education in Literary Journalism. As an association in a relatively recently defined field of academic study, it is our agreed intent to be both explicitly inclusive and warmly supportive of a variety of scholarly approaches.
