Aims and scope
Communication Education is a peer-reviewed publication of the National Communication Association. Communication Education publishes original scholarship that advances understanding of the role of communication in and/or about teaching and learning processes in diverse spaces, structures, and interactions, within and outside of academia. Communication Education welcomes scholarship from all paradigmatic orientations (e.g., functionalist, interpretative, critical, and/or cultural) and methodological approaches (e.g., quantitative, qualitative, rhetorical/textual, and performative/creative). All submissions must advance knowledge production about communication, teaching, and learning in ways that are methodologically rigorous, theoretically grounded, and ethically responsible.

• communication and instruction in professional, civic, community, or family contexts
• social media or media about or as teaching and/or learning
• public communication/discourse regarding teaching and/or learning

In addition to articles, the journal will publish occasional scholarly exchanges on topics related to communication, teaching, and learning, such as:
