Presentations
Pradip Thomas (The University of Queensland, Australia) & Karin Wilkins (University of Texas at Austin, USA) discuss continuities and differences between two recent Special Issues of Nordicom Review devoted to the field of communication for social change and edited by long-standing IAMCR-PCR members: Communication, Media and Development: Problems and Perspectives (eds. Florencia Enghel & Karin Wilk- ins, 2012), and Beyond the Impasse: Exploring new thinking in communication for social change, (ed. Pradip Thomas, 2015). Both publications share a concern for advancing a critical and innovative research agenda for communication for social change.
