Visiting Fellows: Communication & Media Research (China)

Job adsVisiting Fellows Program (VFP) for Communication and Media Research, joint program between the National Communication Association and the Communication University of China. Deadline: February 1, 2018.

Fellows will serve one-semester appointments-in-residence. Fall Fellows will serve September 1 through the end of December; Spring Fellows will serve February 1 through the end of May. During this one-semester residency, Fellows will not teach. Fellows will conduct research on their proposed projects in line with the VFP’s annual theme (see section on theme below), and they will be responsible for delivering four public talks, workshops, or other scholarly programs meant to advance NCA’s mission, the broad goals of the VFP, and the interests of intercultural collaboration. NCA and CUC will each select one Fellow for each academic term, so the VFP will consist of two Fellows each term (or four per academic year). Fellows will be guided in their work by the NCA’s “Credo for Ethical Communication,” which offers robust support for free speech, intellectual inquiry, and intercultural sensitivity. CUC endorses this document’s values and norms.

THE 2018-19 THEME: For our inaugural class of Fellows, the research theme is “The China Dream, the American Dream, and Communicating National Narratives.” Successful applicants will address this theme in their research and public events. So that colleagues may plan ahead, the 2019–20 theme will be “Global Environmental Communication in the Age of Crises.” The 2020–21 theme will be “New Media, New Markets, and Netizens.”

The VFP will be hosted on the campus of the Communication University of China (hereafter CUC). CUC has previously partnered with NCA in co-hosting the biennial summer conferences on “Communication, Media, and Governance in the Age of Globalization.”

CFP Communicating Diversity (USA)

ConferencesCall for Submissions, 2018 Communicating Diversity Conference, March 22-23, 2018, Texas A&M University

The Department of Communication at Texas A&M University invites submissions from undergraduate and graduate students to our annual Communicating Diversity Conference, which provides a forum to showcase, share, and engage in discussions about scholarship on communication and diversity.

This two-day conference begins on Thursday evening with a workshop facilitated by our conference Co-Directors. On Friday, talented undergraduate and graduate students will present scholarship engaging diversity in a variety of contexts and through different theoretical lenses. The day will culminate with Dr. Tomeka Robinson’s keynote address concerning her current research on the intersections between health, culture, and policy.

We invite submissions related to, though not limited to, social justice, cultural diversity in “old” and “new” media, mass media, global technology, civic discourse, leadership, health communication, organizational communication, rhetoric and public address, visual communication, interpersonal communication, intercultural communication, public relations, political communication, and mass communication.

We especially encourage submissions that highlight voices of minoritized and marginalized groups based on gender, race, ethnicity, sexual orientation, religion, class, ability, and age.

Oxford Bibliographies: International & Global Communication

Job adsOxford Bibliographies provides faculty and students information about resources on a variety of academic topics by publishing annotated bibliographies to guide them to relevant sources. I’ve been asked to serve as area advisor and suggest topics to be included in the “International and Global Communication” section.

I’m open to suggestions from the CID community while working on this: if there is a topic you think should be included, please send me an email. If you are potentially interested in preparing the annotated bibliography on that topic yourself, mention that. If you know someone else who would be perfect, tell me who. I’m especially interested in including scholars outside the US, as a way to expand their list of authors.

There are no guarantees I can include every topic anyone suggests: 30 topics is the maximum I can propose. And even if I do include your topic, and suggest that Oxford contacts you or the scholar you recommend to write it up, there’s no guarantee they will do so. But at least telling me what and who you would like to see included will increase the chances of that happening.

The deadline for sending suggestions is February 2, 2018. I’m looking forward to hearing from lots of you!
