NCA Institute for Faculty Development 2026 (USA)

Events

National Communication Association Institute for Faculty Development, 22 -26 June 2026, Duquesne University but online (Zoom). Deadline: 18 May 2026.

The 2026 NCA Institute for Faculty Development (IFFD) will be held virtually (on Zoom) June 22 – 26. Duquesne University of Pittsburgh is hosting for the third year in a row. The general purpose of the IFFD is to stay abreast of ongoing changes and issues in communication theory and research, with an eye to enriching instructional insights and practices. This five-day conference offers participants an opportunity to network with fellow undergraduate scholar-teachers and learn from and with leading scholars in the field.

Please note: The institute is directed at those already teaching with an advanced familiarity with the topics. Other participants, such as students, might feel left out of the conversation, which will be counter-productive to the institute’s aims.

Registration is limited to 50–60 participants and will be offered on a first-come, first-served basis. Attendees must be current NCA members to register. Membership status will be verified upon registration. There is no cost to register. NCA proudly offers the IFFD as a benefit included with membership. However, a limited number of non–NCA members may be considered if the need can be demonstrated.

This year’s IFFD features the scholars and topics listed below:

  • Robert T. Craig, Communication Theory and the Art of Framing Problems
  • Molefi Kete Asante, The Architecture of Intercultural Communication: Toward a Transformation of Race in Communication
  • Qingwen Dong, Teaching with AI while Preserving Academic Standards
  • Aisha Durham, Cultural Studies In/As Crisis
  • Diane Keeling, Unsettling Histories of Settler Colonialism in Rhetorics of Science
  • Raka Shome, Thinking from/of the ‘Global South’
