CIVITAS CONSECRATIO
Abstract Communication History falls under Communication Studies, which aims to study human communication practices from a historical This study is growing rapidly in several countries.
Simonson et al .
wrote The Handbook of Communication History which became one of the main references for studying Communication History.
In Indonesia, this study is relatively undeveloped by Communication Studies academics.
This has become a concern for the Department of Communication Science FISIP Brawijaya University (UB) in the last decade.
Several lecturers in the department formed an informal community called Komunitas Pengkaji Komunikasi (KPK).
KPK contributes to the development of Communication History studies both within UB and nationally.
Our community service programme this year targets the academic community, namely lecturers and students at various state and private universities in Indonesia.
Our team aims to introduce and invite the Communication Science academic community to participate in developing the study of Communication History.
This goal is achieved through the production of videos containing dialogues that talk about what is the scope of Communication History studies, the importance of this study, and how the Department of Communication Science FISIP UB contributes to the academic world by developing Communication History studies.
