• Franzisca Weder and colleagues (Celia Weaver, Scott Davidson, Lee Edwards, Øyvind Ihlen) organized a pre-conference at ICA 2025 with the title: “Disrupting and Consolidating Public Relations Research: Turns in Critical Research of the Field”.  The aim was to explore how change has emerged in the public relations discipline, what the critical moments and tipping points have been in fostering change, and how productive it has been in producing disruption of complacent thought, consolidating hegemonic thinking, and/or driving theoretical and empirical innovation. Participants reflected on future directions for change, drawing on insights from fields across strategic communication.

• Florentina Höhs presented at an ICA 2025 PhD mentoring workshop: “Creating Lines to Land in Place-based Energy Communication - Exploring Local Discourses and Strategic Sustainability Communication in the Energy Transition”.
