2025-2027 KACA Subcommittee Members
The 2025–2027 subcommittee members form the backbone of KACA's work, translating the association's mission into programming that reaches our community year-round. Members of the ICA, AEJMC, and NCA subcommittees coordinate KACA's paper panels, research sessions, and business meetings at each of these flagship communication conferences, organizing peer review, keynote programming, and networking events that bring Korean and Korean-American scholars together across North America and beyond.
The KACA Conference Committee plans the association's annual conference, while the Membership, Newsletter, and Social Media subcommittees sustain KACA's daily community life by welcoming new members, producing the biannual KACA Newsletter through conference liaisons, and amplifying the association's voice online. Whether faculty or doctoral students, these volunteer members give generously of their time so that KACA can continue its work of fostering scholarly exchange and supporting communication research focused on Korea, Korean-Americans, and the Korean diaspora.
