About the 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 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.
The organizational values are formulated on equitability, inclusivity, good governance, and research excellence.
GCRA undertakes, documents, and publishes research in the different fields of communication like 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!
