WSCA 2002 convention cover WESTERN STATES COMMUNICATION ASSOCIATION

73rd ANNUAL CONVENTION

Communication Creates, Constrains and Liberates

The Westin Hotel, Long Beach, California

WELCOME TO WCSA AND LONGBEACH

On behalf of the officers and Executive Council of WSCA, it is my great privilege to welcome you to our 73rd annual convention in the great state of California. WSCA conventions always offer a supportive environment in which to learn, refresh professional relationships, and meet new colleagues. Our motto of "work hard, play hard" is a theme that threads throughout the convention and this year's conference promises to fulfill this mantra.

For those of you who are attending WSCA for the first time, I extend a warm welcome. Please join us at the NEWCOMBER'S RECEPTION on Saturday March 2, 2002 at 4:15 in the Shoreline Room. We hope that you come to the No-Host following your reception at 6:30 in the Centennial Ball Room and the kick-off program at 5:30 in the Centennial Ball Room.

President-Elect, Kathy Adams has developed a fine program with the help of wonderful interest group chairs this year. Her theme, "Communication Creates, Constrains, and Liberates" permeates many of the issues raised in the program. For example, there is a discussion with Howard Rosenberg on the panel about the Oscars. The theme is evident in other panels on intercultural communication and the way we apply organizational communication. Don't forget to attend the Basic Course PreConference and all of the other useful workshops Kathy Adams has put together. Finally, we are continuing the focus on honoring those scholars who produced theories that have stood the test of time. This year we recognize Charles Berger, Wayne Beach, and Philip Tompkins. Finally, please come to the Keynote Speaker presentation. This year Ms. Judy Shepard will talk about the "Legacy of Matthew Shepard: Judy Shepard Speaks Out Against Hate" Sunday at 10:00 am.

Local Hosts, Mary McPherson and Sharon Downey, have arranged a number of exciting events. The plans they have for you take advantage of some unique opportunities in the area. The Getty Museum is not to be missed, nor is the cruise or golf tournament. They all promise to enhance your convention experience. Don't forget our beloved SOCK HOP either. Besides the lovely environment Long Beach has to offer, there are many things for you to see.

The Executive Council and I encourage you to be full members of our association by participating in business meetings and attending all of the events, we have planned for you this year. Please come to the Luncheon and support those colleagues receiving awards on Monday at 11:30 am.

Western States Communication Association is a very special organization. The membership is committed to each other and is supportive of student and faculty alike. They reach all out to all who attend the convention and consequently, our conferences are warm and welcoming in a way that remains in one's memory for years to come. Serving this association as President has been one of my more memorable experiences. Like other officers, I care deeply about WSCA and know that my feelings are shared with many others. Though this year has tested us with the events of September 11th, the fabric of our membership serves us well by continuing the strong ties we hold to each other. We hope for peace, but carry on knowing we are among very special people among our WSCA membership.

Warmly,

Sandra Petronio
President

2201 BASIC COURSE PRECONFERENCE Sponsored by the President Elect

8:30 am-4:00 pm, Saturday, March 2 Ocean Ballroom

COMMUNICATION CREATES, CONSTRAINS AND LIBERATES

In keeping with the general theme of the conference, this basic preconference will focus on the way in which the basic course constrains and liberates students. Paper or presentations should examine issues such as: (a) which forms of discourse are privileged and which are marginalized? (b) What important features of communication are not addressed in the basic course? (c) How do issues such as instructor ideology constrain the intellectual territory of the basic course? (d) Do state mandates or University general requirements limit the manner in which the basic course is taught? And (e) Are outcome assessments a good thing?

COOPERATIVE ARGUMENTS IN MULTICULTURAL CONTEXTS

8:30 am-3:00 pm, Saturday, March 2

Naples

This workshop responds to two distinct yet related developments. The first response is to the disciplinary call to develop alternative approaches to argumentation. Scholars note that feminist critiques of argumentation encourage us to seek new ways of teaching argumentation that address its patriarchal nature as well as its focus on a winner-loser outcome. One such alternative is cooperative argumentation as developed by Josina Makau and Debian Marty. Additionally, there is the concern for the role of ethics and their maintenance in an argumentation context in which disputants view themselves not as adversaries, but as potential allies. The second response is to external social factors that call for argumentation approaches that address the varied forms of social deliberation (e.g., mass mediated forms of argumentation and audience segmentation) and the changing demographics in society, which lead to increased diversity in the classroom.

First, we evaluate the constraints of competitive argumentation in multicultural contexts. Next, we posit cooperative argumentation as a communicative approach that creates and sustains diverse deliberative communities, for it encourages disputants to attend to their relationships as much as they do their convictions. Finally, we suggest that cooperative argumentation liberates us, by positing a new model that builds on the best of competitive argumentation and transforms those and other related skills into a constructive mode of deliberation, decision making, and community building.

FUNDAMENTALS OF COMMUNICATION IN A-C-T-I-O-N

8:30-11:30 am, Saturday, March 2

Shanghai

Studies show that teamwork is an effective way of improving academic achievement. The rationale of this workshop is to share an innovative, successful small group project that I have created. I will engage the participants in a variety of strategies that foster inquiry and creativity. The primary goals of the small group project are to concentrate on understanding, analyzing, and appreciating the role of communication in personal, professional, and societal relationships. Students are provided with new lenses with which to understand the interconnectedness among communication contexts. This presentation will illustrate what students teach themselves, what I teach students, and what students teach me. Participants will emerge from this workshop with an awareness of the challenges and rewards that are central to group work.

Marian Lyles, Seattle Central Community College

WOMEN CLIMBING THE IVORY TOWER: A FRANK DISCUSSION OF HOW TO MOVE FROM WHERE YOU WANT TO BE

12:00-3:00 pm, Saturday, March 2

Tokyo

The highly interactive session will assist graduate students and early career professors in a proactive approach to career planning and enhancement in the academy. Faculty and administrators will present goal setting and goal development strategies.

The Scaling the Ivory Tower Institute is designed to assist graduate students and early career women to make the transition from graduate student to professor and to map the early choices that will lead to later career success. The institute staff will discuss issues such as: planning a move into academic administration, balancing career and private/family life, discipline "socialization" and networking for graduate students and junior faculty, career marketability and mobility, retaining sanity and humor, and enduring gender issues in the academy.

SERVICE-LEARNING FUNDAMENTALS: SERVICE-LEARNING FUNDAMENTALS: UNDERSTANDING AND IMPLEMENTING SERVICE-LEARNING IN COMMUNICATION COURSES

1:00-4:00 pm, Saturday, March 2

Odessa

Service-learning is increasingly implemented into academic curriculums with little or no fundamental understanding of the nature of service-learning and its attendant issues. This workshop aims to provide a basic foundation of understanding of what service learning is and what it is not. Participants will leave knowing how to best implement service learning into their courses for the maximum benefit of the student, the institution, and the community.

USING FILM PRODUCTIVELY IN THE COMMUNICAITON CLASSROOM

1:00-4:00 pm, Saturday, March 2

Vancouver

This workshop is designed to help instructors make more productive use of film in their teaching. Because today's students are highly visual learners, film can be an excellent tool for creating dialogue, revealing constraints in human interaction, and liberating students' thinking about how communication works. Specific teaching strategies, including actual assignments, will be presented; these have been developed for and tested in intercultural communication classes, family communication classes, and critical thinking classes, but may be modified by participants for use in other subject areas. Workshop participants will help each other develop ideas for use in their own classrooms.

Presenter:

Jane Elvins, Ph.D., University of Colorado — Boulder

INCORPORATING TECHNOLOGY INTO THE INTERCULTURAL COMMUNICATION COURSE

1:00-4:00 pm, Saturday, March 2

Catalina

As computer literacy becomes just as important as reading, writing, and arithmetic, the incorporation of technology into our communication classrooms is crucial if we are to have our students become engaged in our high-tech world. The proposed short course has a unique benefit over offering a broad overview of technology in the discipline. It provides specific assistance in integrating technology into a particular course — the intercultural communication course.

This course is intended for teachers who would like assistance in incorporating computer- based technologies into their intercultural communication course. The subject matter will focus on (1) how using computer technology can enhance the intercultural communication classroom (2) how to incorporate technology into everyday lectures and activities and (3) a hands-on visit to some World Wide Web sites that will enhance intercultural understanding. Supplements distributed.

Rhetoric, Culture, and Law: Integration and Synthesis

1:00-2:20 pm, Sunday, March 3

Palos Verdes

Presented by the Freedom of Expression and Legal Communication Interest Group

The link between rhetorical studies and law is inscribed in our founding documents. Forensic rhetoric, for example, one of the three modes of public speaking identified by Aristotle, involved pleading cases in front of courts in Greek city-states. With such disciplinary precedent, communication studies departments have sponsored forensic teams, created law-related courses, and have established pre-law programs. The goal of this panel is to gather communication scholars with law degrees, practitioners of law, and other scholars interested in the communicative/rhetorical dimensions of law to discuss pedagogical, rhetorical, and critical issues in legal communication. To facilitate this conversation, panel participants will participate in a preconference experiential e-group discussion, which may serve as springboards for individual papers and larger conference discussion.
