Architects of Communication Scholarship: Recent Episodes
ICA Productions
With this podcast, host Ellen Wartella brings you interviews of several outstanding communication researchers who have been architects of communication scholarship. She will ask them questions about what motivated them to study communication, what they see as current status of their area of research, what they see as the important research questions in their respective areas moving forward, and how communication research contributes to societal challenges and opportunities. In each episode, Ellen will introduce one of the Architects of Communication Scholarship and a handpicked scholar who will be engaging in dialogue with that architect.
This episode features Professor Cynthia Stohl in conversation with Professor Shiv Ganesh. Professor Stohl shares her perspective on the rapid expansion of the field of communication during the 1980s, where researchers shifted to a more embedded and global approach. She discusses how the International Communication Association continues to globalize through affiliate journals and hubs. Professor Stohl also shares some stories about her challenges doing organizational communication research among factory workers in New Zealand.
