[David Boromisza-Habashi]

Istanbul Conference submission deadline extended to January 19, 2009!

The National Communication Association Summer Conference on
Intercultural Dialogue for 2009 will be held July 22-26, 2009 at
Maltepe University in Istanbul, Turkey. This conference is designed
around two main issues: to discuss the current status of intercultural
communication in various cultural, social, historical and political
contexts, including the term "culture," and to explore ways of
understanding and managing productively intercultural interactions
through dialogue. This will be a small working conference,
facilitating conversations intended to develop future connections
between participants. Each scholar is asked to submit one case study
of intercultural communication in which there was a conflict or
misunderstanding, and to provide one approach, theory, or analytical
tool that can be used to productively understand and/or resolve the
issue presented in the case study. The case studies are now due by
January 19, 2009 towww.natcom.org/Istanbul. Papers at the time of
initial submission should be approximately 10 pages in length, and
should present and analyze a single case study. Papers will undergo a
process of blind peer review; those accepted will have until April 19
to complete the full versions. To facilitate discussions at the
conference, the conference language will be English. NCA has provided
funds for travel stipends to participants either based outside the
United States, and/or who are junior faculty. For further information,
