CSCA Book Review Newsletter Supplement

The Central States Communication Association is pleased to announce a new book-review section to be included as a supplement to the association’s newsletter. This supplement will publish short reviews (of approximately 500 words for monographs and up to 1000 words for longer edited volumes) of recently published books of relevance to the membership of CSCA.

Book review calls will be issued tri-annually for a list of books complied by the book-review editor. Members may additionally make suggestions to the editor for books that should be reviewed at any time and the editor will determine their fit for the membership in consultation with the CSCA Executive Director.

For this inaugural book-review section (to be printed February 2015), I am currently seeking reviews for the following books:

  • Sex, Ethics, and Communication by Valerie V. Peterson
  • Teaching Communication Activism: Communication Education for Social Justice edited by Lawrence R. Frey and David L. Palmer
  • Researching Interpersonal Relationships: Qualitative Methods, Studies, and Analysis by Jimmie Manning and Adrianne Kunkel
  • Militant Citizenship by Belinda A. Stillion Southard
  • Applications in Health Communication: Emerging Trends edited by Michael H. Eaves

 To be considered for a review, please contact the book-review editor at sarahsteimel@weber.edu with:

  1. Which book you want to review
  2. A short explanation as to why that book fits within your area of knowledge/expertise.

If selected to provide a book review, CSCA will provide the book to the reviewing author.

Submissions should not be under review by other publications. Reviews must be written according to the most recent edition of the Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association. The editor reserves final discretion about the publication of all reviews.
