Call for Papers and Panels: Intercultural Communication Interest Group, Eastern Communication Association, March 26-30, 2025, Buffalo, NY, USA. Deadline: 16 October 2024.
The Intercultural Communication Interest Group is requesting paper and panel submissions for the 116th Annual ECA Convention. The 2025 convention theme is Contemporary Problems, Creative Solutions, encouraging “submissions that interrogate the following:
- How can Communication Studies scholarship, teaching, and practice provide creative solutions to contemporary societal, environmental, geopolitical, technological, and economic problems?
- How can we best prepare undergraduate and graduate students to address these contemporary problems with creative solutions?
- How can we extend Communication Studies scholarship, teaching, and practice to settings and situations outside our traditional contexts?
The Intercultural Communication Interest Group is devoted to the study and practice of representing, performing, and negotiating cultural identities in face-to-face interaction and mediated communication in cross-cultural and international contexts. The interest group welcomes submissions from scholars at all stages in their academic careers, especially those interested in integrating theory and practice in intercultural communication research.
As much of our work intersects with diverse voices and methodologies, organizers especially encourage proposals that can be co-sponsored by our colleagues in Voices of Diversity and Interpretation & Performance Studies. Some ideas for consideration include critical/cultural considerations, autoethnographic engagement, narrative methodological work, and performance pieces.
