ECA 2023 Convention - Intercultural Communication Interest Group Call
INTERCULTURAL COMMUNICATION INTEREST GROUP CALL FOR SUBMISSIONS
114th Annual Eastern Communication Association (ECA) Convention
Harboring Innovation
Hyatt Regency Inner Harbor, Baltimore, MD
March 29-April 2, 2023
Submission Deadline: October 16, 2022, 11:59 PM PST
The Intercultural Communication Interest Group is requesting paper and panel submissions for the 114th Annual ECA Convention. Jennifer Waldeck (First Vice President) invites ECA interest groups and members to develop programming for the convention that focuses on how we have innovated and how we need to innovate to remain relevant, cutting-edge, and unique. In what ways is our field at the forefront of studying the powerful relationships among communication and our relationships, organizations, communities, and the environment? What innovative theories, questions, methods, data analysis techniques, and practices are emerging from our field? What opportunities exist for us to innovate with our research, service, pedagogy, and practice? How are you responding to your environment to ensure that your work and our field are addressing the practical communication concerns of today and tomorrow?
Our “Harboring Innovation” conference will provide a venue to showcase how we are innovating, and to deliberate the ways in which we must innovate to ensure that the communication discipline continues to make an important impact at all levels of society.
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 career, especially those interested in integrating theory and practice in intercultural communication research.
Papers and panel/program proposals must be submitted electronically by Sunday, October 16, 2022 at 11:59 PM PST.
