Sponsored by the Brazil-U.S. Colloquium on Communication Studies of the Brazilian Society for Interdisciplinary Studies in Communication and the Communication, Information Technologies, and Media Sociology Section of the American Sociological Association (CITAMS), this volume of Studies in Media and Communications is entitled Geo Spaces of Communication Research.
The volume brings together scholars from across the Americas to address the complex evolution of political and policy media spaces as they are studied from a range of perspectives. The volume probes how media and digital tech are transforming how individuals, groups, and societies communicate within and across social worlds, as well as how emergent methodologies are evolving to keep pace with these phenomena.
