IAMCR, along with several other international associations of media and communication scholars, is supporting a project to address the situation of mental health and emotional wellbeing among academics in the field. The project will begin with an online survey that is open for your responses until 18 October.

On 27 June 2022 two online roundtables on 'Global South Perspectives on International Migration, Diasporas and Mobility in the Post-digital Era' were organised by IAMCR’s Diaspora and Media Working Group. One of them focused on Africa and the other on Asia. Watch the recordings here.

The Emerging Scholars Network and Communication Policy and Technology sections of IAMCR held a three-day online professionalization workshop for early career scholars from February 23 to 25. Interested graduate students are invited to a followup workshop on Academic Writing and publishing to be held on 2 September.

15/07/2022 - On 21 July, the Postgraduate Programme in Communication of Unisinos University in Brazil was unexpectedly and arbitrarily shut down by the university’s management. IAMCR stands in solidarity with colleagues in the programme, one of Brazil's most prestigious in the field.

The voting period for the Sections and Working Groups heads election has ended. We would like to thank all of the candidates who expressed their willingness to serve as a section or working group officer and also to all who voted. See the results here.

IAMCR is pleased to invite applications for the 2022 IAMCR presidential PhD Research Webinar on “Communication, Citizenship and Representative Democracy: Theoretical and Practical Approaches” convened by Nancy Gakahu, University of Leeds, UK.
