This year, the International Communication Association (ICA) will hold its 73rd annual conference in Toronto, Ontario, Canada, May 25-29. Reclaiming Authenticity in Communication is the theme of this year’s conference, encouraging participants to explore how authenticity has become a variable, rather than a constant, in public discourses and popular culture across the globe and with what relational, social, political, and cultural implications.

Several faculty and students from the school will be presenting their research.
