Around the world, academic freedom is currently under attack. A growing number of researchers face work-related intimidation and harassment. As a scholarly association, ICA takes these developments seriously and is determined to identify strategies and measures to adequately respond to them.
To accomplish this mission, ICA needs your help. We invite you to participate in a 10-minute online survey that aims to assess academic freedom and occupational intimidation as experienced by communication scholars.*
To take the survey, please use this link or the QR code at the bottom of this message. The link is active until April 13, 2026.
Thank you very much in advance!
