The Mobile Communication Division is a worldwide network of 250+ scholars involved in the International Communication Association (ICA).

The Mobile Communication Division focuses on the social consequences of mobile media use and mobile communication. Thus, the Division is at the intersection of mobility, technology, social structure, and culture in human communication. Scholarship includes a wide array of perspectives and approaches in communication studies, but always through the angle of mobility and mobile communication. This ranges from historical perspectives to studies on future media innovations, from ethnographic to quantitative empirical approaches, and from journalism studies to media effects research. The common ground of the Division is state-of-the-art analysis and theorizing about mobile communication and its social consequences.

To pursue this mission, the Mobile Communication Division offers several presentation formats. We welcome established and emerging scholars from around the world.
