Conference information and location
The Canadian Communication Association is excited to announce that our 2026 conference will be held at the University of Windsor, in Windsor, Ontario, June 2–4, hosted by the Department of Communication, Media and Film.
This will be the CCA’s first conference held independently of the Federation of Humanities and Social Sciences of Canada, which is not hosting a Congress in 2026.
The city of Windsor holds significance for the CCA. As Michael Darroch notes in his essay “Borderline Cases: Crossing Borders in Canadian Communication Studies, 1960s–1980s,” the idea to form the Canadian Communications Association was first proposed at a conference at the University of Windsor in 1978. “Windsor thus played an important but underreported role in establishing the CCA as a cross-nation initiative for the field of Canadian communication studies,” Darroch writes.
We look forward to meeting in Windsor to continue our almost-fifty-year tradition of gathering for research and knowledge exchange, stimulating conversation, and connecting with colleagues from across the country.
Keep your eye out for a call for papers in September.
We hope to see many of you in Windsor in June 2026! Be in touch if you have any questions.
Sincerely,
