On behalf of the Communication History division of ICA, we’re pleased to announce the schedule for our preconference “Communications and the State: Toward a New International History,” to be held on Thursday, May 21, 2015 in San Juan, Puerto Rico. (The larger ICA conference runs from May 21-25.)
The preconference includes 24 papers by emerging and established scholars examining connections between communications and states from many different perspectives. (See the detailed schedule below.) The papers range from national to transnational in scale, cover a variety of communications media, and present a wide diversity in temporal and geographic scope.
In our closing plenary, three highly regarded scholars (Daniel Hallin, Richard John and Adrian Johns) will assess the current state of scholarship in this many-sided field.
We hope members of the ICA Communication History division and ICA members generally will join us for what promises to be a stimulating and memorable day.
The registration fee is $85 (U.S.), and the preconference will be held at the Condado Hilton, a 15-minute walk from the main conference hotel.
