ECA 2023 ... Rhetoric & Public Address Interest Group Call for Submissions

RHETORIC & PUBLIC ADDRESS INTEREST GROUP
CALL FOR SUBMISSIONS

The 114th Annual Convention of the Eastern Communication Association

Hyatt Regency Inner Harbor, Baltimore, MD

March 29-April 2, 2023

Submission Deadline: October 16, 2022 11:59 PST

The Rhetoric & Public Address Interest Group invites submissions in preparation of the annual ECA Convention. The deadline for electronic submissions is October 16, 2023. 

The “Harboring Innovation” conference theme invites us to showcase how we are innovating, and to deliberate the ways in which we must innovate to ensure that the communication discipline continues to make an important impact at all levels of society. Held in Baltimore’s Inner Harbor, an area with one of our nation’s richest and most innovative histories, the “Harboring Innovation” theme also provides us with the opportunity to consider the lessons the city has to offer communication scholars. 

 

Scholars are encouraged to consider how we have innovated and how we need to innovate to remain relevant, cutting-edge, and unique. In what ways is our field at the forefront of studying the powerful relationships among communication and our relationships, organizations, communities, and the environment?  What innovative theories, questions, methods, data analysis techniques, and practices are emerging from our field?  What opportunities exist for us to innovate with our research, service, pedagogy, and practice? How are you responding to your environment to ensure that your work and our field are addressing the practical communication concerns of today and tomorrow? 

The Rhetoric & Public Address Interest Group welcomes submissions of papers, thematic panels, and other programs that explore these, and other, issues and questions, and how these topics and questions intersect with critical issues related to rhetoric and public address.
