Volume 29 of Studies in Media and Communications offers a vibrant and timely exploration of how communication research is being reimagined across the Americas. Marking the 20^th anniversary of a major transnational colloquium (Intercom's Brazil-U.S. Colloquium on Communication Studies and the Communication), it examines the historical legacies and evolving research trajectories shaping the field in Latin America and the United States.

Foregrounding comparative perspectives, this collection highlights the rich potential of cross-regional dialogue to address pressing social, technological, and political challenges. Bringing together scholars, practitioners, and policymakers, the collection spans critical themes including media inclusion, public broadcasting and communication inequalities. Contributors investigate cutting-edge research frontiers - from microaggressions in Brazilian contexts to regional development in the Central Arc, community communication policies, and the ethical imperative of Artificial Intelligence for Gen Z. Together the chapters deepen understanding of communication's role in shaping civic life and cultural expression across diverse settings.

Ideal for researchers and students interested in global, digital, and/or media studies, this volume underscores the importance of sustained scholarly partnerships between North and South America and invites readers to rethink how knowledge is produced, shared, and transformed in a rapidly evolving field.
