About 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 the international communication scholarship forums due to limitations like geographical location, national security, ethnicity, economics, and language.

The Global Communication Research Association (GCRA) seeks to provide a forum for the underrepresented scholars and practitioners to be a part of the global communication community scholars. This will provide them with a platform to express their research interests and put forward the issues and problems faced by their countries. The 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.

Covid-19 has affected the entire world, and we have all suffered together. But the experience of the pandemic has been different across the world. The pandemic has made us rethink our relationship with ourselves as well as the world around us. Communication has taken new turns during this pandemic phase, and so has communication research. These need to be studied and documented, and in view of this, GCRA is organizing an online conference to highlight and capture the trends and changes in communication research ushered in by the global pandemic scenario.
