2018 Comparative Communication Study International Symposium
Comparative Communication Study International Symposium
1 – 3 October 2018, Deakin University (Burwood Campus)
The study of communication has advanced under different traditions. Its connection to professional practices that have become scholarly disciplines such as media studies, public relations, and journalism has sometimes led to particular applied directions that are drawing on sometimes distinctive aspects of communication theory. Moreover, communication as the overarching field that links these approaches has also developed in equally distinctive traditions as it emerged as an area of study in different parts of the world.
This international symposium is designed to investigate these different traditions in the study of communication andprovide a platform for both comparison and exchange. At its core, the Comparative Communication Study International Symposium is jointly sponsored for this intellectual exchange by:
