About Global Communication Research
Association (GCRA)
We work towards a brighter future for the underrepresented communication scholars in the global south. Throughout the world, large numbers of communication scholars and practitioners are underrepresented in forums of international communications scholarship for reasons of geography, national security, ethnicity, economics and language.
The Global Communication Research Association (GCRA) seeks to provide a forum for those scholars and practitioners to be a part of the global communication community scholars and be able to express their research interests and best represent issues and problems of their countries. GCRA was founded on 26 September 2001 at a meeting in Sydney, Australia.
The association of communication scholars will be low-cost conferences at physical locations and virtual settings. The association will also undertake research projects. The association will be characterized by inclusivity and focus on concerns of underrepresented scholars and practitioners in the different fields of communication.
The organizational values will be characterized by equitability, inclusivity, good governance and research excellence.
GCRA undertakes, documents and publishes research in the different fields of communication including global communication, communication for development, science communication, social networks, political communication, and public opinion, in addition to other research interests of underrepresented areas.
Young scholars, in particular, please make a difference with GCRA activities!
