Matt, et al. The International Communication Association is having its AGM in Montreal, May 22-26, 08. http://www.icahdq.org/conferences/index.asp The CAT section (our sort of Cat People) is a lively and sizeable group. Research oriented. Other sections have interesting stuff too, and all are welcome to attend all. I'm leading a panel with Jan Van Dijk, Jeffrey Boase, Helen Wang, Diana Mok, Jessica Collins and Kakuko Miyata. "Do ICTs Foster Social Connectivity or Social Isolation?
