The ICIR pursues opportunities in four key areas to address some of the critical questions and issues in the communication and information landscape.
Beyond Sports Initiative
The Beyond Sports Initiative, ICIR’s sport and gaming think tank, serves as a bridge between the academic study of sports and the sports industry to train the next generation of practitioners.
Technology, Culture and Society
The Technology, Culture and Society initiative takes a critical approach to examining the long-term impacts of the rapid growth of information technology from an economic, political and cultural perspective.
Internal Communication and Engagement
The Internal Communication and Engagement initiative pushes scholars to think beyond corporations to capture the engagement experiences of internal audiences in all types of organizations.
Media Ethics and Credibility
The Media Ethics and Credibility initiative explores motivation and techniques in intentional disinformation, and aims to empower individuals to critically evaluate information and participate in informed discourse.
