CALL FOR PAPERS AND PANELS ON COMMUNICATION THEORY AND PRACTICE
IN EASTERN EUROPE, RUSSIA, CIS and FORMER SOVIET REPUBLICS
Thursday, November 17 - Sunday, November 20, 2010 in New Orleans,
Louisiana
DEADLINE: Monday, March 13th, 2011 at 11:59pm Pacific Time
Eurasian Communication Association of North America(ECANA) and the Russian
Communication Association (RCA) invite the submission of completed papers
(or extended abstracts) and panel proposals that focus on various aspects of
communication theory and practice in Eastern Europe, Russian Federation and
former Soviet republics.
Following the official theme for the NCA 97th Annual Convention Voice,
ECANA will encourage submissions that focus on your experience related
various academic constituencies, each with diverse perspectives and life
experiences. Although NCA may advance the importance of respecting
assorted fields, paradigms, experiences, and backgrouds, several real
questions remain: How do you manage to make the difference and get your
individual voice heard? How does your voice contribute to the research body
of our field and the voice of our profession? How is this done? Sustaining a
convention theme of Voice will be one way to begin (or continue) a
conversation about these critical questions. When considering your potential
participation with ECANA/RCA activities, please keep the convention theme in
mind.
We welcome any methodological approach, theoretical perspective, or
situation that may advance our understanding of communication discipline. For
example, papers about communicative or rhetorical behavior, social
interaction, theoretical contributions, any form of mediated or face-to-face
form of communication or interaction between people from the above
countries and cultures would be appropriate. However, submissions should not
be limited to these areas as long as they are related to the above-mentioned
regions in some way. In addition to the traditional types of submissions, we
encourage innovative methods to involve scholars that may not use traditional
presentational formats or require the literal presence of such participants.
Superior submissions may be programmed in the Scholar to Scholar Interactive
Media Series, which provides a format especially appropriate for visual and
aural work, multimedia projects, and interactive presentations.
All paper submissions must be uploaded to NCA Submission Central in order to
be considered. Please note that you must strip ALL identifying information from
your paper prior to submission. Specifically, authors will enter their submission
information to include a list of author(s) or panelists, author(s)/panelists
contact information, paper/proposal title and abstracts. If you are not a
member of NCA, you will be able to create a user name and password for NCA
Submission Central. Submissions should not exceed 25 pages of primary text
[excluding abstract, title page and works cited page(s)].
The best student and faculty submissions will be recognized and top papers
will be considered for publication in the RCA-sponsored Russian Journal of
Communication.
Those who submit extended abstracts should note that if their paper is
selected for the convention, they will be expected to upload a copy of their
full, completed paper during the September period for submitting revised
papers.
