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.
Information Privacy and Policy
The Information Privacy and Policy initiative takes a critical approach to examining current and emerging information practices, with interests in the collection and use of Big Data, and the many concerns this raises.
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.
