[Ethnocomm] Blue sky workshops

Tue Dec 9 13:32:39 UTC 2014

I have been mulling this idea over for the past couple days and wondering if we might gather around a topic something like this:

(Western) Communication Theory in Cross-cultural Perspective

This gives EC and its kin the opportunity to describe its intents and purposes, opens the conversation to unknowing cultural (national) dimensions and/or constraints of theorizing, while inviting other theoretical stances or positions for discussion.

Thoughts?

To second Olga's and Donal's comments, our African colleagues note with regular frustration the same challenges pertaining to Western scholarly discourse -  especially presentation of results and publication. 

What a contribution it would be to investigate or explore this from an EC perspective.

And what a meaningful discussion to have.

Best,

Lisa

I find Olga’s points to be highly valid, as we each work within traditions of scholarship and in social environments which are no doubt to a degree culturally situated. I also think the idea of being connected via Skype to be highly appealing, at least for some portion of the anticipated discussion.

Thanks, Olga.

Dear colleagues,
I think that the discussion of different cultural perspectives on communication research might be fascinating. We, Russian scholars, find it difficult to fit into the Western scholarly discourse, to have our papers published, etc., partially, I think, because of different traditions of inquiry and presentation of results.  I haven't heard Peter Vorderer in Seattle, but he spoke about this in London last year. I don't think I'll be able to make it to Puerto Rico (too far away), but maybe we'll be able to think of other forms of "presence", like Skype?

Hi Steph,

As much as possible we would like this (to-be-proposed) workshop to focus on questions and experiences related to scholarly conversations between EC-based research and *theorizing* in other traditions of inquiry. To state our interests crudely, we are thinking about inviting folks to address questions like, What happens when ethnographers of communication attempt to make a contribution to the study of subjects with rich and varied theoretical traditions such as memory, globalization, dialogue, design, peace, conflict, violence, democracy, social justice, etc., etc.? What are some related challenges, opportunities, trade-offs, and victories?

Tell me if I'm way off here but it sounds to me like you are interested in a conversation about combining methodological approaches. This is not exactly the type of conversation Leah and I are looking for, but if you (or anyone else on this list!) would like to chat more about this BSW feel free to send me an email off-list.

Cheers, David

Hi Donal and David,

I'd be interested in a combo of EC and action research, if that's something that fits within the scope of what you and Leah are already imagining?

Hi Donal,

Leah Sprain and I are not quite ready to propose a BSW just yet, but we are thinking about one that would inspire conversation about points of engagement between EC and non-EC theorizing. More from us soon.

Cheers, David

Greetings EC Clan::

Does anyone have an idea for a Blue Sky workshop for ICA they’d like to propose? 

Blue Sky Workshops
Continuing in the tradition begun by Peter Vorderer in Seattle, the 2015 ICA Annual Conference in San Juan will offer “Blue Sky Workshops.” These are designed to be open conversation meetings that session chairs dedicate to specific research or professional development issues. The session format is flexible and can be individualized by the chairs. The objective, however, is not to replicate the standard format of single presenters and a listening audience, but rather to facilitate active contribution by each attendant. For this reason, participation is limited to approximately 20 attendees, depending on room capacity. Sessions will typically last for one standard time slot of 75 minutes. You can find the Call for Proposals for Blue Sky Workshops at:
http://www.icahdq.org/conf/2015/blueskyworkshops.asp. Proposals must follow the directions outlined in the Call and should be submitted to Amy Jordan (ajordan at asc.upenn.edu <https://e.mail.ru/compose/?mailto=mailto%3aajordan@asc.upenn.edu> ) by 31 December 2014. Proposals with incomplete information will not be considered for inclusion in the program.
