Pro*Doc Conference 2010
The PhD Conference on Adaptivity in Health Communication, to be held in the conference centre of Monte Verità in Ascona on 10 and 11 September 2010, will conclude the activities of the doctoral school Pro*Doc Communication and Health. It will feature presentations by both junior and senior researchers, around the theme of adaptivity in health communication, in three main areas of research in health communication:
- (i) mass communication
- (ii) doctor-patient communication
- (iii) risk communication
In the conference, PhD students will present papers based on their PhD research and senior researchers, namely high profile guest speakers, will deliver keynote lectures. In order to guarantee a thorough discussion of the students’ work, the conference will also feature prepared commentaries on the PhD presentations, delivered by fellow PhD students. The school aims to publish the proceedings of the conference as a special issue in the journal Studies in Communications Sciences.
