The Ideas on Fire Guide to ICA 2024


The 2024 International Communication Association conference is coming up June 20–24, and we’ve curated a bunch of resources to help you get the most out of your conference experience.

This year’s theme is Communication and Global Human Rights, and the event aims to “take stock of the contributions of communication scholarship to the study of human rights; to foreground current research and practice; and to outline promising directions for communication studies.”

We are jazzed to celebrate so many Ideas on Fire authors presenting at and helping organize the conference.
