<p><strong><em>The Journal of International Media &amp; Entertainment Law</em></strong><strong>&nbsp;at Southwestern Law School, in association with the Armenian Bar Association, invites scholars to submit abstracts of full-length law review articles for a symposium examining traditional and technology-assisted disinformation and propaganda in the armed conflicts of the South Caucasus, Eastern Europe, and Central Asia — including but not limited to Nagorno-Karabakh (Artsakh), Ukraine, and the frozen and recurring conflicts of the former Soviet space.</strong></p>
