Meeting Description:

The VAKKI Research Group at the University of Vaasa arranges a Symposium on
February 8-9, 2018 under the theme of Workplace Communication.

Workplace communication comprises many different settings: face-to-face
meetings between co-workers, online interactions between experts, service
encounters in different professional fields as well as technical or business
communication to mention just a few examples. The common nominator to these
setting is that they are connected with professional roles and identities and
interwoven with institutional practices. We call for papers, posters and
workshops that interconnect for example with the following topics related to
workplace communication:

- Professional boundaries, identities, and social interaction
- Languages at work
- Domain-specific discourses
- Professions and the role of (digital) media
- Communication discourses and practices in service encounters
- Communication in changing workplace environments
- Social media in working life
- Virtual teams, networks and communities
- Methodological challenges in workplace communication research
- Ethical issues of workplace communication

The working languages of the symposium are Finnish, Swedish, English and
German.


Call for Papers:

Participants may contribute with a presentation (20 min + 5 min discussion) or
a poster. We also welcome proposals for workshop topics. The purpose of the
workshops is to provide participants with a less formal setting to exchange
intellectual ideas and to share practical experiences on focused topics.
Please submit your proposals (max. 300 words) for workshop themes as
attachments (in rtf or doc format) to symposium2018 [at] vakki.net by
September 15th, 2017. Further details on registering for the workshops will be
provided in the second Call for Papers.

As for presentation and poster proposals, please submit your abstracts (max.
300 words) to symposium2018 [at] vakki.net as attachments (in rtf or doc

affiliation, whether your proposal concerns a section presentation, a poster,
or a workshop presentation. Also mention if you are giving your presentation
together with someone else. The papers will be selected based on the
scientific quality of the abstract. Notifications of acceptance will be sent
out by December 15, 2017.
