Reignite!

The 58th Annual ICA Conference

September 30 - October 1

Des Moines Area Community College, Ankeney

 Conference Registration: 

Since March 2020, Education has experienced many changes and challenges. Faculty, staff, and students have had to adapt to new forms of teaching, synchronous and asynchronous methods. Adapting has required significant energy and posed challenges to work-life balance, effective pedagogy, research agendas, and service requirements. Attempting to manage all of this has caused many to re-evaluate their priorities and teaching methods. 

The theme of “Reignite” will focus on the re-ignition of our energy and ideas to continue to move the Communication discipline forward. 

We welcome faculty and students from all areas of Communication education, including K-12, Community Colleges, Undergraduate, and Graduate levels. We encourage submissions from all of these groups. 

Submissions will be encouraged in the following categories:

• Research. Completed research papers may be submitted for presentation and response from a communication scholar. Projects at other stages of research may be submitted for a Research Round Table, in which scholars may share research in progress and get feedback from peers.

• Pedagogy. These submissions focused on teaching and learning may range from brief Great Ideas for Teaching (GIFTS) to longer workshops.

• Discussion Panels or Roundtables.

• Other formats as appropriate for presentation
