The International Communication Association presents the ICA Podcast Network, where we’re grappling with questions about how to navigate, transform, and make sense of a changing world. Our podcasts will bring together scholars and practitioners from around the world to showcase the most exciting and important work in our field and amplify researchers, educators, and advocates who are underrepresented in our field. 

We're so excited to introduce One World, One Network‽, Interventions from the Global South, Architects of Communication Scholarship, Digital Alchemy, Feminist Networks and the Conjuncture, Ask Us Anything, Growing Up Comm, JCMC: The Discussion Section, and Communicating for Impact. 

Visit our website to learn more and listen to each podcast.

This episode features Ingrid Bachmann, one of the Conference Theme Co-Chairs of the 2022 ICA Conference. Alongside a panel of other scholars, Ingrid explores the current influence of Western research in the field of feminist media studies — and how they as scholars can decentralize Western work. They consider how they can ensure their work, particularly as teachers and mentors of future scholars, has a positive social impact. They finish with a discussion of what it means to be an activist in the current digital age and how this definition intersects with their own work.

With a panel of guest speakers, Herman critically explores the implications of One World One Network‽ This episode’s guests discuss the world’s frequent overemphasis of the West and how we can shift our focus to other narratives.
