Symposium Objectives & Scope: The world is getting smaller with high technology-based
communication systems. This also brings people together. Communication scholars, especially, should be
1
close to one another and this is why we are gathering them and preparing a platform for discussion. The
aim of this symposium is to establish and continue an international multidisciplinary forum for the
development of innovative dialogue between Turkish and American scholars. This symposium serves a
number of purposes: The main purpose is to establish a meeting ground for a dialogue between the
Turkish and American communication scholars. The international symposium rotates between the two
countries. Although the cooperation is mainly between two countries scholars, other countries’ scholars
are welcomed to this symposium as well, as in the previous ones. Secondly, popular and main issues of
the communication field in the new millennium will be discussed. And with this dialogue, future projects
and comparative studies will be developed. The symposium aims to foster and promote work that is
intended to make a constructive contribution to the communication field and its development. The
symposium welcomes work of scholars and graduate students in the communication field.
Suggested sessions: Communication Theory and Research, Agenda-Setting Studies, Cultural & Critical
Studies, Political Communication, Media and Technology / Communication Technology, Media Literacy &
