Mobile media, political participation, and civic activism in Asia

Edited by Ran Wei, Ph.D., University of South Carolina

To be published by Springer in January 2016

Chapter proposals are needed for topics in the volume including but not limited to:

• Empirical studies that examine uses of the mobile phone (calling, voicemail, SMS/texting, mobile social media, mobile blogs, mobile Weibo, mobile webchat) to access and share information about public affairs, mobile crises, community events, and the like.

• How social media transforms at the individual level and at the structural level, leading to mobilization and civic engagement.

• The bridge between Asian news consumption and political participation (e.g. voting).

• Creative use of mobile media for consuming news as well

We welcome research by emerging Asia-focused or Asian-based scholars whose work has not previously been published in English.
