\"ZayaniCCT Professor\u00a0<\/span>Mohamed Zayani<\/a>\u00a0has won the International Communication (ICOMM) Book Award from the International Studies Association (ISA) for his critically acclaimed book\u00a0<\/span>Networked Publics and Digital Contention<\/em><\/a>\u00a0(Oxford University Press, 2015), making it the fifth major award it has received to date.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The ISA ICOMM Book Award honors the publication deemed to have made the most substantial impact in the area of International Communication in the context of international studies. The award will be conferred at ICOMM\u2019s section meeting at the International Studies Association 60th convention, which will be held this year in Toronto.<\/p>\n

Headquartered at the University of Connecticut, the International Studies Association is one of the oldest interdisciplinary associations dedicated to understanding international, transnational, and global affairs.<\/p>\n

Previously, the book won a raft of prizes, including The Communication, Information Technologies, and Media Sociology Best Book Award from the American Sociological Association (ASA); The Global Communication and Social Change Best Book Award from the International Communication Association (ICA); The Sue DeWine Distinguished Award for a Scholarly Book from the U.S. National Communication Association (NCA); and The Toyin Falola Best Book Award from the Association of Global South Studies (AGSS).<\/p>\n

Zayani\u2019s\u00a0Networked Publics and Digital Contention<\/em>\u00a0is part of the Oxford Studies in Digital Politics Series. \u201cThat Mohamed Zayani\u2019s book has won multiple awards, from different associations, attests not just to the impact of his work, but also to its breadth,\u201d said Oxford University Press editor Angela Chnapko. \u201cIt\u2019s a great achievement.\u201d<\/p>\n

Professor Zayani\u2019s recent work includes Digital Middle East: State and Society in the Information Age<\/em> (Oxford University Press, 2018) and Bullets and Bulletins: Media and Politics in the Wake of the Arab Uprisings<\/em> (Oxford University Press, 2016).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
