ICA Conference at CBS
International Communication Association Nordic Regional Conference 2015
The 2015 International Communication Association Nordic Regional Conference will take place 11-13 October 2015 at the Copenhagen Business School. The theme, Responsible Communication and Governance, reflects the communication field’s and the Nordic region’s research expertise in areas such as corporate social responsibility, sustainability, governance, and communication.
The goal of the ICA Regional Conference is to stimulate reflection on and discussion about how responsibility is organized and communicated across a variety of contexts and settings, including social, political, intercultural, corporate, health, and interpersonal communication, amongst other contexts. In particular, the conference focuses on how responsibility emerges in communication, how it shapes and is shaped by social and organizational practices, and how it develops as a social and political ideal at the intersection between governance, talk, and action. Indeed, the papers, keynote lectures, and panels reflect the communication field’s ongoing commitment to examine, critique and shape the shifting roles and responsibilities that we face in regional and global contexts. In addition, the presentations highlight how responsibility is informed and shaped by communication and governance practices within a particular contexts and/or settings (e.g., an organization, the media, a country, a political party) and as it plays out in various processes such as:
- Meaning and sense making
- Talk and action
- Policy making
- Power and control
- Materiality
- Transnational movements
- Sustainability and Corporate Social Responsibility
- Internet policies and infrastructures
- Freedom of information and privacy
- Crowdsourcing and open access to information
- Grassroots organizing
