Elihu Katz (1926–2021) was an unparalleled figure in communication study. This preconference invites presenters to explore, critique, and extend Katz’s contributions to communication scholarship. Some will situate Katz’s legacies in pertinent historical contexts; others will use his work to imagine media futures; still others will consider Katz’s many roles (teacher, institution-builder, broadcast pioneer, mentor). The preconference — dedicated to ideas, history, and conversation — will be an academic counterpart to the ICA 2022 memorial for Katz.
