What is Architects of Communication Scholarship?
With this podcast, host Ellen Wartella brings you interviews of several outstanding communication researchers who have been architects of communication scholarship. She will ask them questions about what motivated them to study communication, what they see as current status of their area of research, what they see as the important research questions in their respective areas moving forward, and how communication research contributes to societal challenges and opportunities. In each episode, Ellen will introduce one of the Architects of Communication Scholarship and a handpicked scholar who will be engaging in dialogue with that architect.
