ICA 2008: Interest Group Sessions and Awards
May 30, 2008
The Communication History Interest Group, in its first
ICA conference as a recognized ICA
unit, fielded seven panels in Montreal. (The
response to our call for papers was extraordinary,
leading to the Association’s highest paper
rejection rate, despite extra panel slots from
ICA.)
See the CHIG panels in this truncated version of the program. Conference registrees can download the papers on the ICA site.
Congratulations to our two award recipients!
1) Best Overall Paper: Philip Lodge (Napier University, UK), “Towards an Institutional and Intellectual History of British Communication Studies”
2) Best Student Paper: Victor W. Pickard (University of Illinois, USA), “‘Whether the Giants Should Be Slain or Persuaded to Be Good’: Revisiting the Hutchins Commission and the Role of Media in a Democratic Society”
