The Communication Association of Eurasian Researchers (CAER) welcomes 
submissions that focus on various aspects of communication in, with and 
about Eastern and Central Europe. This conference will serve as an 
opportunity to truly “internationalize” the field of communication, 
providing opportunities for transnational “bridge building”. This will 
have a plentitude of positive potentialities naturally percolate, 
producing new global connections, creativity, and commonalities in a 
world beset with division, delimitation, and difference.

Internationalization, as outlined by the National Communication 
Association and the American Association of State Universities and 
Colleges accomplishes the goals of making global citizens of our 
students, linking international academic communities, enhancing national 
and international security, and enlivening and expanding faculty 
research and scholarship.

Potential ideas for building bridges between communication scholars from 
the East and West could revolve around the following subjects (though 
this list is not limiting or exhaustive, but rather generative):

•           Growing misunderstandings between governments

•           Growing misunderstandings between governments and publics

•           Misinformation, disinformation, and other manipulation 
through communication

•           Declining trust in traditional authorities

•           Polarization and radicalization

•           Threats to peace and security

•           Threats to human rights and dignity

•           Future of democracy and democratization

•           Lack of social justice

•           Unsustainable practices

•           Depletion of natural environment

We will engage the contemporary issues by discussing research 
contributions from international scholars with the ambition to:

•           Establish a bridge to connect scholars from different 
paradigmatic, cultural, and geographical locations.

•           Envision future bridges to engage communication scholars 
with broader communities to analyze, understand, and perhaps even 
mitigate some of the current issues.
