Abstract

This article considers the future of our discipline. The author imagines how emerging media artifacts, discourses, and environments will affect the practices of communication scholarship and change the shape of our scholarly community. By tracing and reflecting upon some of the key disciplinary debates over object, method, and purpose, the author argues that the future of our field is moving toward more relational, locally-inflected “texts,” more ethnographically-minded methods, and more social-justice-oriented goals.
