10th Annual APDS Conference

Co-Sponsored with the Association of Public Diplomacy Scholars (APDS)

One of the most significant byproducts of globalization has been the extensive movement of people across borders - by choice, sheer necessity or forced removal. Compounded by the proliferation of communications technology, the media now faces new challenges in covering these complex crises and mediating public opinion in a rapidly developing landscape.

In grappling with the realities of immigration, states are presented with the opportunity to advance their soft power through immigration policies. Some have succeeded; others have not. The 10th Annual APDS Conference explored the increasing relevance of public diplomacy in border policy and global governance through an interactive, dialogue-driven forum.

Agenda

8:30am | Opening Remarks
Panel | Soft Power and Immigration Policy: Cross Country Case Studies
Panel | Media Coverage & Immigration Policy: Shaping Public Opinion
Panel | Future Trends in Immigration & the Challenges They Pose for PD
3:15pm | Concluding Remarks

CPD was pleased to co-sponsor this program alongside USC Annenberg School for Communication and Journalism and USC Graduate Student Government.
