Global Communication Association Conference

Future(s) of Communication: Promises and Predicaments
Marmara University, İstanbul, Türkiye
Hosted by a top-ranked Marmara University, Faculty of Communication, the Global Communication Association (GCA) invites you to submit your abstracts and panel proposals for the 16th annual convention to be held in İstanbul, Türkiye.
A significant aspect of modernity enabled by media and communication technologies has been the collapse of time and distance. Global connectedness through social media platforms, flow of information through the internet, real-time communication through smartphones, and virtual meetings via Zoom have historically been credited for making the world a more connected place. However, unforeseen predicaments of new technologies have raised concerns about the lack of control over their use, the potential biases of machine visions and thinking, and their potential to facilitate crime as well as security and privacy breaches.
