The Canadian Communication Association’s Racialized & Indigenous Scholars Network was founded in 2022 to foster community among racialized and Indigenous communication scholars; to promote their work, including marginalized objects, frameworks, and epistemologies, within the field of Canadian communication studies; and to support racialized and Indigenous students and early career researchers in navigating the CCA, the discipline, the profession, and their home institutions.
Each year, RISN activities are coordinated by a steering committee and guided by its governance document.
