The 2024 Global South Academic Forum is set to convene on December 5-6 in Shanghai, hosted by East China Normal University. This significant gathering aims to amplify the voices and wisdom of the Global South by bringing together leading scholars and media pioneers from around the world.
A highlight of the forum will be a thought-provoking discussion moderated by Liu Xin from CGTN, focusing on “Promoting the construction of a 21st-century world information and communication order.” This session will delve into strategies for the Global South to overcome barriers of misinformation, enhance authentic voices, and redefine global narratives in an increasingly interconnected world.
The event underscores the ongoing challenges in the global media landscape, particularly the imbalances that affect the representation and dissemination of information from the Global South. Scholars and experts will explore collaborative approaches to foster a more equitable and inclusive communication order that accurately reflects the diverse perspectives and experiences of these regions.
The forum offers a platform for meaningful dialogue and exchange of ideas, contributing to a deeper understanding of the socio-political and cultural dynamics shaping Asia and the broader Global South. Attendees will have the opportunity to engage with key thought leaders and participate in discussions that could influence future policies and initiatives in global communication.
The session moderated by Liu Xin is scheduled for 2:10 p.m. Beijing Time on December 6. It promises to provide valuable insights for academics, media professionals, investors, and anyone interested in the evolving role of the Global South in global affairs.
