SUMMARY:NCA2026 | 112th Annual Convention
DESCRIPTION:The 112th Annual Convention in New Orleans will explore move/ment(s) in the field of Communication. Movement is the defining feature of humans in the 21st century. We are a species on the move – as migrants\, tourists\, refugees\, workers\, asylees\, and students. Movement brings flux\, assumes risk\, implies intermixing\, and sows the seeds for “both/and” thinking. Move/ment is full of interpretive possibilities for scholars\, teachers\, and practitioners of Communication. \nAs we gather in New Orleans\, which is marked by epochal movements of people\, capital\, goods\, ideas\, and culture\, we will reflect on the various avatars of movement. Movement is also inherent to the celebratory fervor of Second Lining\, the quintessential New Orleans form of communal celebration. The sobering legacies of Hurricane Katrina and the mass displacement in its wake also offer a reckoning for how we move and can be moved away/for/into places and spaces.
