Information, Medium & Society: Twenty-second International Conference on Publishing Studies, Sapienza University of Rome, Rome, Italy, June 26 – 28, 2024.
Information, Medium & Society: The Publishing Studies Research Network was founded in 2003 with the inaugural International Conference on the Future of the Book. Since then, the Research Network has expanded its scope in two phases. The first was in 2009 when it became the Books, Publishing, and Libraries Research. In this iteration, the Research Network began to look beyond the book as the primary site of investigation. In 2019 the network underwent another change, to become Information, Medium & Society – The Publishing Studies Research Network.
The Information, Medium & Society: Twenty-second International Conference on Publishing Studies features research addressing the following annual themes and special focus:
2024 Special Focus—Traveling Concepts: Publishing Systems and the Transfer and Translation of Ideas

Theme 1: Informational Foundations

Theme 2: Mediums of Disruptions
