Adjunct and Temporary Faculty Interest Group Unit Call (CSCA 2016-Grand Rapids)

 ADJUNCT/TEMPORARY FACULTY INTEREST GROUP
Call for Papers and Panels

2016 Central States Communication Association (CSCA)
Annual Convention in Grand Rapids, Michigan
April 13-17, 2016

Foundation


The Adjunct and Temporary Faculty Interest Group invites the submission of panels, roundtable discussions, and innovative programming for the 2016 CSCA convention in Grand Rapids, Michigan. Our interest group focuses on the needs and concerns of adjunct instructors and temporary faculty. We welcome a range of topics and we especially encourage members to address issues related to the convention theme of Foundation. In terms of panels, preference will be given to those with panelists representing multiple institutions rather than a single institution.

We welcome a variety of formats, including discussion panels, spotlight panels, and debate panels. We strongly encourage the submission of panels that are co-sponsored with other CSCA units. Please contact the Adjunct and Temporary Faculty Interest Group Chair for help coordinating co-sponsored panels.

Guidelines for Submission:

(1)  Panels: Discussion and paper panel submissions must include the following: (a) title, (b) description (75 words or less), (c) rationale (75 words or less), and (d) a complete list of participants along with their institutional affiliations, contact information (address, e-mail, and telephone), and if they are CSCA Members. Paper panels should also include titles and brief abstracts (100 words or less) for each paper. Submitters must use the Discussion Panel Form or Paper Panel Form. These forms are located on the CSCA website: www.csca-net.org

An e-mail acknowledging receipt of panel proposals will be sent for each submission. All media requests must be made at the time of submission. Please only request media if it is absolutely essential to your presentation, as media requests will be closely examined before approval. Laptop computers will not be made available for presentations. Your submission implies that you agree to follow appropriate presentation guidelines if your paper/panel is accepted (i.e., it is generally unacceptable to read your paper to those in attendance).

Submissions must be received by October 3, 2015.

Send submissions electronically using Microsoft Word to the following:
