IfK Represented With 21 Contributions at the 71st Annual ICA Conference
(25.05.21) This year's 71st Annual Conference of the International Communication Association (ICA) with the main topic "Engaging the essential work of care: Communication, connectedness, and social justice" will take place from 27-31 May as a virtual conference. Researchers* from the Münster Department of Communication will be represented with 21 contributions.
Under the title “Engaging the essential work of care: Communication, connectedness, and social justice”, this year’s ICA Annual Conference will focus on the concept of care as a core aspect of social life against the background of the COVID-19 pandemic, the climate crisis and societal conflicts all over the world.
The degree of care on the individual and collective level within a society are indicative for its values, experiences, position and history. Against the background of the many crises which societies have to handle at this moment in time, communication functions as a means for re-working the concept of care. Care is both constituted by and constitutive of communication.
With 11 pre- and post-conferences, the conference will take place from 27 to 31 May. Among the accepted papers for this year's conference are 21 contributions by or with participation of IfK scientists*:
