Meeting Description:

The Department of Communications & Performing Arts at Kingsborough Community
College is hosting CUNY's Fifth Biennial Conference on Language, Society, and
Culture on Friday, May 15, 2020. This year's theme is Speech & Communication
For All.

More details are available on our website and in the call for papers. This
one-day conference only accepts submissions from scholars and students
affiliated with a CUNY institution. We ask that you kindly distribute it to
students and colleagues in relevant departments at your institution. The
abstract deadline is March 6, 2020.
 
We particularly encourage student submissions, as well as collaborations
between students and faculty.


Call for Papers:

Speech & communication may seem like the same, but in many contexts, such as
the academic one, they have unique meanings. And then, there is the scientific
study of language, known as linguistics (read more here).

Whether from a linguistic, sociological, historical, anthropological,
economic, political, literary or educational lens, numerous CUNY scholars
share a common interest in analyzing and understanding the mechanisms
underlying speech, language, and communication. Toward this end, we invite
abstracts for a one-day conference for faculty and students from across all
CUNY Community Colleges, as well as Senior Colleges. Submissions may include
empirical, theoretical, or methodological contributions that in some way
highlight the workings of speech, language and/or communication. Please submit
an abstract of not more than 300 words (excluding references) using our
Abstract Submission page by March 6, 2020.

The theme of our conference is unique - and rather ambitious - in trying to
bring together work in all of these different areas. This is what we mean when
we say ''speech & communication for all''. A second meaning behind our choice
of words has to do with the blurring of traditional boundaries - we aim to
bring together work by both professors AND students, community colleges AND
4-year institutions, speech, language, AND communication, and the multitude of
purposes towards which research in these fields can be used: linguistics,
sociolinguistics, speech pathology, professional/public speaking, artistic
expression, development of theoretical frameworks, and everything in between
(such as all types of interdisciplinary work).

The abstract selection committee (composed of faculty from various CUNY
institutions) will blind review the submissions.

Abstracts will be judged based on a rubric including the following criteria:

1. Relevance to the theme of the conference, Speech & Communication For All.
2. Organization and coherence: empirical research as well as theoretical and
methodological papers should include a description of the problem/ tension/gap
in the field, research questions, methodology, findings, and implications.
3. Clarity and quality of exposition: abstracts should be well-written,
adhering to established academic standards for conferences in your field.

Faculty submitting abstracts are encouraged to present with students.

Faculty--please encourage your students to submit! 

FACULTY--PLEASE ENCOURAGE YOUR STUDENTS TO SUBMIT A PROPOSAL FOR A POSTER.
