About the ICA Political Communication Summer School
The ICA Political Communication Summer School is a flagship program that brings together outstanding PhD students and early-career researchers from around the world for an immersive week of training and mentoring. Featuring prominent political communication scholars from around the globe, the Summer School offers participants an intensive week of learning in master classes, engaging in small-group discussions, and receiving feedback on their research. Across the programme, participants engage with cutting-edge debates and methods in this fast-moving field and receive detailed guidance on their own projects through structured consultations, discussant feedback, and informal conversations with faculty. While the 2026 theme is “Political Communication and Democratic Ideals,” we warmly welcome applications from researchers working on any aspect of political communication, and we look forward to hosting the cohort in the inspiring collegiate setting of Devonshire Hall at the University of Leeds (UK).
Location
The Summer School will be hosted by the Centre for Democratic Politics, University of Leeds (UK) and take place at Devonshire Hall, University of Leeds (UK), between 13-17 July 2026 (View on Google Maps).
