From ANZCA President, Chika Anyanwu

Welcome to the Australian and New Zealand Communication Association (ANZCA) web site.

chika-caption-05feb12ANZCA is the professional association for communication researchers, teachers, and practitioners in Australia and Aotearoa New Zealand, and has been in existence since 1980. We interpret communication broadly, to incorporate scholarship and teaching in areas such as media and cultural studies, organisational and interpersonal communication, digital media and Internet studies, public relations, advertising, and journalism, and areas of the creative, visual and performing arts, as well as the professional fields related to these areas of scholarship and teaching.

ANZCA holds an annual international conference in early July each year. ANZCA full members receive discounted conference registration fee, and the Media International Australia journal. ANZCA is affiliated with the International Communication Association and is a foundation member of the Council for the Humanities and Social Sciences in Australia.

ANZCA has a strong postgraduate student membership, and seeks opportunities to support the work of new and emerging scholars. Postgraduate students pay a discounted membership fee and discounted registration fees for the annual conference. There are also a limited number of scholarships to help new and emerging scholars attend ANZCA conferences. There are currently two competitive research awards: The Grant Noble Prize for best paper by a postgraduate student and The Christopher Newell Prize for best paper dealing with disability/equity/social justice and communication.

We invite you to join us and enjoy the many benefits that ANZCA provides for media and communication scholars like you.

Social, casual and mobile games – primarily experienced on smartphones and online social networks – are becoming increasingly ubiquitous, and in the process, changing the ways in which games are designed, understood and, most importantly, played. This preconference will explore this rapidly changing gaming landscape and discuss the ludic, methodological, theoretical, economic, social and cultural challenges that these changes invoke.
