AIM OF THE SYMPOSIUM
The primary aim of the "Family and Media: Global Perspectives in the Digital Age" International Family Symposium is to examine the effects of media tools brought by the digital age on families within an academic framework and to foster interdisciplinary dialogue among international academics, researchers, policymakers, and practitioners in this field.
- Sharing Knowledge and Awareness Raising: The symposium will serve as an important platform for sharing recent research on the family-media relationship, providing significant knowledge-sharing opportunities for academics and experts working in this area. It also aims to convey the positive and negative impacts of media usage on families to a broader audience and to raise awareness.
- Interdisciplinary Approach: The issues surrounding families and media involve multiple disciplines, including sociology, psychology, communication, law, education, and media studies. This international symposium aims to bring these disciplines together, facilitating in-depth analyses and the development of solutions from various perspectives. The interdisciplinary approach will contribute significantly to both academia and society.
- Addressing Global Perspectives: The symposium seeks to examine the relationships between media and family in different cultural and geographical contexts, aiming to bring together global perspectives. Global issues such as migration, globalization, and digital inequality and their effects on family-media relationships will also be addressed. This will encourage international collaborations and allow for a broader evaluation of the impacts of global media policies on families.
- Developing Recommendations for the Future: In light of the rapidly changing dynamics of the digital age, it is crucial to develop effective strategies to manage the impacts of media usage on families and to protect family structures. The "Family and Media: Global Perspectives in the Digital Age" International Family Symposium aims to lay the groundwork for raising awareness among families regarding digital media usage, promoting media literacy programs, and formulating new policy recommendations for families.
