This year's conference of the Society for Media Studies (GfM) will take place at Paderborn University from 16 to 19 September. The focus is on the topic of "Power", which will be examined in numerous panels, lectures and discussion rounds. The events on the first day will take place in the Heinz Nixdorf MuseumsForum, while the main conference venue for the other programme items is the Paderborn University campus. Registration for the conference is required and possible online.

The conference will deal with central issues such as the intertwining of power and media, the potential of power to divide and unite, the popularisation of inhuman ideologies through shifts in power and, ultimately, the role of media studies. The full programme of events can be found on the GfM annual conference website.
