CSCA 2019 Convention - Intercultural Communication Interest Group Call for Papers
Dear colleagues,
I hope the summer is going on well for everyone. This message is to encourage you all to consider submitting papers and panels for the 2019 CSCA convention in Omaha, Nebraska. Our interest group has been a leader in engaging significant intercultural/interracial issues of the day and the convention theme " dialogue" cannot be more fitting. I look forward to hearing from you all soon.
Please do not hesitate to contact me with questions.
Thanks
Eddah
Chair, Intercultural Interest Group
INTERCULTURAL COMMUNICATION INTEREST GROUP
Call for Papers and Panels
Central States Communication Association (CSCA)
Annual Convention in Omaha, Nebraska
April 3-6, 2019
Dialogue
The Intercultural Communication Interest Group invites the submission of competitive papers, panels, roundtable discussions, and innovative programming for the 2019 CSCA convention in Omaha, Nebraska. The purpose of the Intercultural Communication Interest Group is to promote the interests of faculty and students, as well as others interested in considering ways that we can construct authentic dialogue in communication situations where we talk with rather than to each other.
A range of topics encompassing the significance of dialogue among diverse U.S constituencies, communities, scholars and students, as well as dialogue in intercultural pedagogy, mentorship, social justice, conflict, peace, and globalization are welcome. We especially encourage members to address issues highlighting challenges of dialogue in highly contested political climate locally and globally, as well as offer best teaching practices, and propose new directions in intercultural communication scholarship. We welcome a variety of research, including interpretive, critical, and social scientific approaches, as well as papers that apply, extend or develop theoretical approaches. In terms of panels, preference will be given to those with panelists representing multiple institutions rather than representing a single institution.
Awards: The Intercultural Communication Interest Group presents two awards with cash prizes: 1) top paper award and 2) top student paper award. The awards for top paper and top student paper will be recognized during the Intercultural Communication Business Meeting.
Guidelines for Submission
Papers: Only completed papers will be accepted. Papers must include a title and a brief 100-word abstract, which you will be able to submit through the online system. The word “Student” should be marked on all papers written by student authors. Student authored papers do not include those co-authored with faculty members. Individuals who have never presented a paper at the CSCA convention should write “Debut” in the upper right-hand corner of the title page. Author names and any identifying information must be removed prior to submission.
Panels: All Panel Proposals need a title, a brief abstract and rationale (150 words), name of person responsible for the program, as well as name, institutional affiliation, address, phone number, and e-mail address of each panel participant.
CSCA will have a new online submission system. Details will be available on the CSCA website closer to the submission deadline. All submissions must be received by Wednesday, October 10th 2018 at 11:59 CST.
Requests for technology/media for the presentation must be made at the time of submission. Please only request media if it is absolutely essential to your presentation, as media requests will be closely examined before approval. Laptop computers will not be made available for presentations.
Only completed papers and panel proposals will be considered.
