Abstract

Media and Communication Studies in the Digital Age: Insights from the 12th International Communication Days Symposium

Abstract

The International Communication Days (İFİG), which have been held regularly for twelve years and have become a well-established tradition, stand out as one of the most significant academic contributions of the Üsküdar University Faculty of Communication to the field. Shaped around diverse, contemporary, and critical themes in communication studies, the symposium embodies all the characteristics of an institutionalised scientific event, drawing attention with its consistent contributions to the discipline. At this point, the symposium has evolved beyond being solely an initiative of the Üsküdar University Faculty of Communication, becoming a well-established platform that enriches the international agenda of communication studies. Through its annually determined main themes, İFİG not only addresses the communication discipline but also provides a multidimensional forum that touches upon various fields of the social sciences, including sociology, psychology, political science, and cultural studies, thereby fostering interdisciplinary academic dialogue. Regularly organising academic events holds critical importance for the dissemination of scientific knowledge and the institutionalisation of academic communities. In this respect, İFİG, with its continuity, should be regarded as a platform that ensures the circulation of knowledge in the field of communication, strengthens the identity of the academic community, and guides the future of the discipline.
