This edited collection provides a forum for communication scholars
whose efforts are directed toward social change. Originating from
theme sessions at the 2008 convention of the International
Communication Association (ICA), this volume engages communication
theory to enlarge communication practices. Chapters address
perennial issues of interest to communication scholars as
experienced in contemporary terrains: how can scholarship weave its
way more fully into the lives of people residing outside of the
academy; what counts as social impact; what are the epistemological
and ontological debates that play out in the realm of communication
scholarship that seeks to redress lived inequities; ans, what
ethical demands accompany scholarship and activism in international
landscapes characterized by globalization, neo-colonialism, and
rapid technological shifts. Each chapter makes a distinctive
contribution to communication theory and practice. Collectively,
contributors' work reveals the eclectic nature of theoretical and
methodological work pursued by communication scholars and
practitioners, and focuses on meaning-making as it evolves,
changes, adapts, and is sustained in conversation, mediated
communication, distributed organizing, and other venues. This
collection seeks to foster edifying dialogue about social
injustices, and move people to meaningful reflection and action.
