#ICA25
Oh let's continue that celebration, y'all! We're thrilled to announce our Outstanding Reviewers through to our first 100+ manuscripts.

We officially launched at #ICA25 with @icahdq.bsky.social x @academic.oup.com in June 2025, so we're just over one year old.

And in that time, we have The Best!
This week, we're celebrating our fantastic Editorial Board, a nearly 50-scholar strong group of dedicated folks that really make our journal work.

Board members have completed more than 100 reviewers, and *every single Board member* has reviewed for us so far - averaging 25 days to complete.

#ICA25 taking place in Colorado means I had a week of two of my (very different) favorite things - walking through the mountains and talking media and women's sports!

Special thank you to the Sport Communication Interest Group for their recognition of my research as the SCIG Top Student Paper.

If you’re looking for a quick and rewarding nature fix at #ica25, check out the Denver Botanical Gardens.

They are just ~2 miles east and they are an outstanding place to get a little lost, and all the flowers are showing off!

Clear space in your luggage!! #ica25

The crowd is very chill and the environment is safe for families. Just remember to bring water, it's hot out! 🥵 #ica25
Denver protest very peaceful and safe. Lots of families, local orgs tabling, minimal police presence. Here’s the schedule for any #ICA25 folks interested in joining

"The Prometheus Problem in Academic Writing and How to Avoid Getting Burned"

In today's free article (w/free signup), I discuss a common mistake that leads to article manuscripts getting rejected. The good news is that it's easy to avoid!

CCSN keeps coming up, and I'm sorry I missed it! Over 100 attendees is a strong attendance for a preconference, and a good indication of interest in this area 👀 #ica25
Room is PACKED for our fireside lunch chat with YouTube’s Michelle Beaver & @cfiesler.bsky.social! Getting the inside scoop on what is—and how are—Top Creators.

I am still looking for an LGBTQ+ / Game Studies crossover paper on the Splatoon series. #ica25

If you don't really know what freelance editors and writing coaches do in communication research, you're not alone.

Nobody ever told me that we existed when I was a PhD student!

However, we're here to help free up your time, reduce stress, and improve the quality of your writing! #ica25
June 13, 2025 at 3:39 PM
Today is booked through mid-afternoon, but I have a few slots still open over the weekend for quick meetings.

Even if you're just curious about working with an editor or writing coach, that's cool too—drop me a line!

Yes, my badge doesn't lie... I have a podcast 😅

It's called "Academic Writing Talk" and it has free publishing tips, writing strategies, and even interviews with #ica25 authors!

Maroon Peak in the GRAND HYATT.

Don't be like me! Floor two in the OTHER Hyatt (Regency) leads to a dead end with locked offices.

Finally, Pooley wonders what we can do to stop the cyclical reproduction of Westernism. What is the role of associations taking political stances? Perhaps we might take a critical look inward, instead? #ica25
June 13, 2025 at 1:20 AM
Badr shares that strategies to subvert the system and support younger scholars were discussed at the activism preconference. How to mentor them without "committing career suicide"... shape a disruptive and critical discourse with a commitment to human rights? #ica25
June 13, 2025 at 1:16 AM
Cherian George warns against the allure of universalism, the possibility that human rights gets neglected, and even that ICA may not take a strong enough political stance for all of us—yet this is still a place to find those who are. #ica25

If you've followed this thread so far, I have it on good word that @natpoor.bsky.social HAS the fabled briefcase of bootleg badge stickers and will be at the reception. Please don't mob him and keep the violence to a minimum! #ica25

To early-career scholars, Hanan Badr says, "find your voice, find your tribe, find what you really believe in." #ica25

In activist traditions, decolonization brings discomfort. It's also a resource issue (still Badr here). She holds up a new book, "Cosmopolitan Communication Studies," which you can find at the link below #ica25

Cosmopolitan Communication Studies
A timely call and a guideline on how to make communication studies and its various fields truly international.

She argues we should move beyond formal checkmarks of diversity and inclusion that can turn performative rather than address power asymmetries. Points to the Activism, Communication and Social Justice group as an example of how disruptions can open up the field #ica25

Finally, Hanan Badr discusses the echoes of #CommunicationSoWhite (see: www.researchgate.net/publication/...) and centering agency while being aware of marginalization #ica25

"What's our common currency?" he asks. Surely it must be more than the scientific method. "We need to hold certain truths as self-evident," echoing the Declaration of Independence. Given Gaza, what is our shared moral conviction? 🔥 #ica25
