Inhalt:
Kurs A (Scharkow) und Kurs B (Reinecke):
Communication is an impressively dynamic and fast developing field of research. The course “Latest Developments in Communication” aims at keeping up with the constant flow of communication research by reviewing the latest theory building and the empirical findings of the field. For this purpose, students will read, present, and discuss numerous research papers presented at the Annual Conference of the International Communication Association (ICA) in May 2020.

The ICA is the most influential academic organization of international communication researchers worldwide. The research represented at the ICA conferences represents the state of the art of the field. Research presented at the conference is subject to strict peer-review, granting highest standards of academic excellence. The course will cover research from various divisions of ICA, among them the Mass Communication, Communication and Technology, Political Communication, and Journalism Divisions. Many papers reviewed in the course have received Top Paper Awards from their respective Division. The seminar thus provides students with the chance to get to know the latest top research from the field of communication even before the results have been published in academic journals.The course will be held in English.
