FLAME University, launched a 6-month long seminar series last month in the area of communications management. Aimed at providing access and opportunities to collaborate with top scholars and practitioners in the field, this seminar series is widely based on three themes which include Methods in Communication Studies, Contemporary Issues in Communication Studies and Industry-led Research in Communication Studies, said the official release.

Dishan Kamdar, Vice-Chancellor of FLAME University in his statement said, “Research that contributes to business, government, and society should be the goal. Research remains at the epicentre of what we do here. We believe educating is about creating new knowledge, not just disseminating existing theory.”

The FLAME School of Communication will host their seminar series till December 2021. Each session in the series is held for a duration of 90-120 minutes, including a Question-Answer session as well. Cumulatively about 12-15 speakers will deliver interactive talk sessions in the entire series, averaging at 2 -3 speakers a month. Some of the upcoming events in August 2021 include talks on ‘Impactful Qualitative Research’ by Russell Belk, Kraft Foods Canada Chair in Marketing at Schulich School of Business, York University, on August 12 and ‘Technology and Consumer Behaviour’ by Stefano Puntoni, Rotterdam School of Management, Erasmus University, Netherlands, on August 27. The seminar is open to all students, academicians and practitioners who may wish to attend these sessions, said the release.
