ABSTRACT
Researchers across disciplines share an enduring interest in the social impacts of immigration. I review key intersections between communication and immigrant integration scholarship in order to demonstrate how communication research and theory can address gaps in the literature on immigrant integration. These applications also reveal how communication theories, when extended to the integration experiences of immigrants and their children, more robustly reflect the increasing diversity of our globalizing societies. The conclusion provides suggestions for future inquiry at the nexus of these fields.
