The ICIR works to create impactful, meaningful scholarship that guides the communication and information field. Through our efforts, we aim to provide insights that are:
Insightful
We believe that communication and information research can help us learn to effectively reach audiences across all cultures. Every project will offer insights that demonstrate how to communicate and engage information ethically among a wide variety of audiences and stakeholders.
Interdisciplinary
Our team understands that there is no one “right” way to answer the complex questions we plan to address. Every project will investigate these questions from multiple theoretical, methodological and contextual avenues in order to find the most comprehensive answers.
Impactful
At the heart of our mission is advocacy. It’s not enough for us to find insights and give recommendations—we want to share our findings with the stakeholders who would best benefit. We lead conversations with the professionals, communities and audiences that will benefit the most from our work.
