From Dr. Annette Holba:
The Communication Ethics Division invites completed papers, paper sessions, panel discussions, and other programs exploring the significance, impact, and necessity of communication ethics. We welcome submissions that focus on advocacy, research, theory, pedagogy and/or practice with special consideration given to programs and papers that address the 2010 convention theme, “Building Bridges” that 1) emphasize linking our scholarship with professions beyond our disciplinary borders; 2) bridge areas of scholarship and teaching; 3) connect research and pedagogy to community projects; and 4) maximize the potential benefits and overcome the difficulties of new technologies that make connecting with one another easier and at once, more complicated. Submissions open December 21, 2009. DEADLINE: On or before Wednesday, February 17, 2010. Programs that involve innovative formats emphasizing interaction among participants and audience members are also highly encouraged.
I. Competitive paper submissions should include a title and 75-150 word abstract. To ensure blind review, all author references should be removed from the manuscript. Papers need to be double-spaced, using a 12 pt. type and be no more than 7000 words (25 pages), exclusive of references, tables, and appendices. As a reminder, only one paper may be submitted by a principal author to the division. Papers will also be evaluated for possible inclusion in the Scholar-to-Scholar sessions. Those papers authored solely by students or persons who have not previously submitted to NCA should be identified with "student" or "debut" on the upper right hand corner of the title page. Formal recognition will be given to the top papers and a cash award to the top student paper.
II. Paper sessions, panel discussions, and other interactive session proposals need to include the title of the program, a rationale of approximately 250 words focusing on the substance of the panel, and the names and qualifications of the panelists. A short abstract for each panelist presentation, for paper sessions, is encouraged so that reviewers can evaluate the relevance and appropriateness of the submission.
III. Submission Protocol: As we are limited in the number of programs we can schedule, it is important to recognize that when you submit, you are making a commitment to attend the San Francisco convention upon notification of acceptance. Please specify requested audio visual equipment needs in the proposal. All papers and panels must be submitted online through the All Academic system using one of the following file formats: Microsoft Word, Word Perfect, PDF, Rich Text Format. Compressed or zip files will not be accepted.
