Mastrini, Guillermo

I have been a member of IAMCR since 1998, and was elected for the International Council in 2016. Today, I am deeply concerned with the commodification of the academic system, mainly in the publication sector. I would like to promote that IAMCR, as a historically critical organization, contributes to push a bigger debate on this issue.

My research interests are in political economy of communication and public communication policies. I am presently a professor at the Communication School, National University of Quilmes (UNQ) and University of Buenos Aires (UBA).  I am also research fellow at the National Scientific Research Council (CONICET). I hold the the position of co-director of the Research Program at the National University of Quilmes (2019-2023). Furthermore, I am the director of a research project on communication policies in Argentina, approved within the framework of the 2018-2021 Scientific Program at the University of Buenos Aires (UBACyT). He is a researcher for the Institute of Latin American and Caribbean Studies at the Faculty of Social Sciences (UBA).

I was Dean of the Master Program in Cultural Industries at UNQ, and of Communications Studies Department at UBA. Former President of the Argentine Federation of Social Communication Schools.
