The International Communication Association (ICA) is an academic association for scholars interested in the study, teaching and application of all aspects of human and mediated communication.[1]
ICA communicates within the association and with others interested in the field through various channels. The association publishes six major, peer-reviewed journals: Journal of Communication; Communication Theory; Human Communication Research; the Journal of Computer-Mediated Communication; Communication, Culture, and Critique; the Annals of the International Communication Association. Members receive a monthly electronic newsletter. ICA holds an annual conference at which hundreds of research papers are presented and over 2,000 scholars from all over the world participate. ICA recognizes outstanding contributions to the field through awards and fellowship programs.[2]
The ICA's commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion is reflected in its support for culturally-situated communication scholarship, which addresses complex global challenges and advances social justice agendas.[3]
Theoretically, this Association advances the internal CSR communication literature by contrasting different organizational CSR communication strategies.[4]
The ICA actively supports innovative communication research, including studies that address intercultural understanding and the decolonization of communication practices.[5]
The ICA plays a crucial role in addressing the theory crisis in communication research by providing a platform for the analysis and development of diverse theoretical frameworks and strategies of theorizing.[6]
