In late June, faculty and graduate students of MSU’s College of Communication Arts and Sciences will travel to Gold Coast, Australia to discuss their research at the 74th Annual International Communication Association Conference.
The theme for this year is Communication and Global Human Rights. Research contributions from ComArtSci faculty are to examine “contributions of communication scholarships”, study human rights, “foreground current research and practice”, and “outline promising directions for communication studies”.
The ICA Conference will take place Thursday, June 20th - Monday, June 24th, 2024 in a hybrid capacity with sessions taking place virtually as well as in person. The in-person portion of the conference will be held at Gold Coast Convention and Exhibition Centre as well as The Star Gold Coast.
ComArtSci presenters are italicized.
