The Nonverbal Communication Interest Group is seeking submissions for the 114th annual ECA Convention to be held in Baltimore’s Inner Harbor from March 29 to April 2, 2023. Let this year’s convention theme, “harboring innovation”, guide your submissions:
“Innovate”: To make changes in something established, especially by introducing new ideas, methods, or activities. To create transformation, revolution, metamorphosis.
Let this definition, provided by Jennifer Waldeck (Convention Program Planner), inspire your own submissions focused on innovative theories, research design, discussions, teaching, data collection, data analysis, measurement, etc. It is time to share how you have innovated in your research and/or in the classroom, and share ideas how our division needs to continue to innovate to remain relevant, cutting-edge, and unique.
We invite you all to submit relevant scholarship that touches upon the previously mentioned goals of ECA 2023 within the field of nonverbal communication. We are open to any method or topic within communication studies, as long as it relates to nonverbal communication (e.g., paralinguistic cues, facial expressions, body language, environmental communication, and the like).
ECA will again be using Attendee Interactive to manage submissions and reviews. All submissions should be uploaded through Attendee Interactive at the following site: https://ww4.aievolution.com/eca2001/index.cfm.
