Waddick Doyle participated in a roundtable at a conference on Virtual and Internet Communication in the Mediterranean: Complex Identities and the Transformations of Social Bonds (La communication virtuelle par l’Internet, la complexité des identités, et les transformations des liens sociaux en Méditerranée) held in Tunis by the IRMC (Institut de Recherche sur le Maghreb Contemporain).  He also gave a paper entitled “How to live together and secularism: Sufi responses to Media Islamophobia” at a conference entitled Sufism and Society: Reality and Perspectives, held in Madagh, Morocco on February 26 and 27.

 

 

 

 

Waddick Doyle is the founder and chair of the Department of International Communications, and founder and director of the Masters in Global Communications program at AUP. Doyle teaches courses in Media Globalization, Contemporary World Television, Media Law, Policy and Ethics. He has held positions at universities in Italy, France and Australia.

 

Doyle’s background is in both the comparative philosophy of meaning (socio-semiotics) and the political economy of mass communications. His work covers the deeper cultural effects linked to transformations of media systems, and the development of a globalized brand media culture. He has published on what he calls the sacralisation of brands and reality television, and on media and belief. Doyle is presently writing a book about the rise to power of the Italian media and advertising tycoon, Silvio Berlusconi, former Prime Minister of Italy.

 

Doyle is active in the major international communication associations, the ICA and IMCRA. He is also a member of the board of the Centre pour les études des communications internationales (CECI) in Paris and the Global Media Research Center at the University of Southern Illinois.
