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.

Please note, booking for this event closes at 23:00 GMT.

To commemorate The International Day Against Homophobia, Transphobia, and Biphobia (IDAHOBIT), which takes place annually in May, we are screening a charity-fundraiser film screening of “Queens of Joy” (dir. Olga Gibelinda, 2025). The theme of the 2026 IDAHOBIT is “at the heart of democracy.”

“Queens of Joy” is a documentary that tells the story of three queer Ukrainian people: Monroe (a trans woman and an important figure in the Ukrainian queer scene), Artur Ozerov (aka Aura, a drag artist who also works for Kyiv’s military administration), and Oleksandr Danilin (aka Marlene Scandal, a Ukrainian drag icon). During the ongoing war, they come together to organise a charity drag show in support of Ukraine, showing how art and culture can be a powerful mode of resistance and solidarity.

The event will take place between 16:00-18:00 on Wednesday 6th May 2026 Tickets start at £3 for students and £5 for colleagues. There are also opportunities to opt to donate further amounts at your discretion on booking your ticket, please find the donation page here. All money raised for this event will go to Generators4Ukraine.
