A Century of Communication Studies cover

This volume chronicles the development of communication studies as a discipline, providing a history of the field and identifying opportunities for future growth. Editors Pat J. Gehrke and William M. Keith have assembled an exceptional list of communication scholars who, in the thirteen chapters contained in this book, cover the breadth and depth of the field. Organized around themes and concepts that have enduring historical significance and wide appeal across numerous subfields of communication, A Century of Communication Studies bridges research and pedagogy, addressing themes that connect classroom practice and publication.

Published in the 100th anniversary year of the National Communication Association, this collection highlights the evolution of communication studies and will serve future generations of scholars as a window into not only our past but also the field’s collective possibilities.

The contemporary communication discipline started as a splinter group sensitive to its external uniqueness and its internal differences. A Century of Communication Studies: The Unfinished Conversation is centrally concerned with how the discipline continues in that vein as a socially and ethically engaged intellectual enterprise. The studies assembled by editors Gehrke and Keith say a great deal about why the tensions of permanence and change, one and many are endemic to communication’s multi-faceted disciplinary dynamic.
