Abstract

Brenda Dervin was president of The International Communication Association from 1985–86. This essay is her personal recollection as a participant on the margins and a witness of the founding of the organization's Philosophy of Communication Division, the first of the divisions in ICA which broke with the then normative attentions of that association to quantitative bench science.
