International Association for the Study of Argumentation

The International Association for the Study of Argumentation (IASA) is a global organization dedicated to researching and promoting understanding of argumentation—how people reason, debate, and communicate persuasively. It brings together scholars from various fields like philosophy, linguistics, and communication to exchange ideas, develop theories, and improve critical thinking. IASA organizes conferences, publishes research, and fosters collaboration to better understand how arguments work, enhance reasoning skills, and support effective dialogue across diverse contexts. Its goal is to deepen knowledge of argumentative processes and encourage rational, constructive discussions worldwide.
