Salon B (1^st Floor)

In keeping with the general conference theme, this preconference will highlight the symbolic-material interplays that are too often ignored in our discipline's preoccupation with its own mythos (read: symbol worship). Asserting some variety of social constructions (which most of us do) does not mean that is "all there is" or that our very symbolicity is free from constraints by material conditions (as, for example, the great social and communication theorist Jürgen Habermas has observed). At the same time, this preconference theme alerts us to the various ways in which rhetoric and communication help to shape or reshape the material world. The Oxford English Dictionary defines sustainability with these terms: ability to be borne, endured, upheld, defended. Thus, the very term "sustainability" suggests a bridge between the symbolic and material dimensions of life. The preconference theme, along with the overall theme of the conference, directs us to profound practical and philosophical questions about "How can we do this?" "How can we justify this?" "How long can we do this? and: "How could we do things better?"

Relevant sub-themes or sub-topics include:

• Consumption and Consumerism
• The Market and Marketing
• Time and Human Energy
• Personal and Family Life

Salon G (1^st Floor)

Presented by the Organizational Communication Interest Group

Transformations in the form and nature of work in the past decade have led writers from various fields to explore implications for a "new" meaning of work. Some examine the effect of workplace change on meaning (e.g., Gamst, 1995; Guevara & Ord, 1996; Harpaz & Fu, 2002), while others explore the processes involved in finding and creating meaning (e.g., Fox, 1994; Osborn, 2000). This panel explores both, with a focus on how communication sustains the meaning of work in times of change. Panelists present reflections and study findings on the meaning of work as renewed employee trust following exposed top management fraud, ethical obligations in applied ethnography, spirituality in the workplace, discernment of inner calling among Christian higher education.

Lois Marie Gibbs first gained national recognition as the housewife, who in 1978, discovered that her child was attending an elementary school built
on top of a 20,000 ton, toxic-chemical dump in Niagara Falls, New York. When the state determined the area to be a public health hazard, but did not take steps to protect people, Lois Gibbs became an activist. Through her strategic communication, she successfully persuaded her state government and the federal government to close the school and relocate families out of the vicinity. In October 1980, President Jimmy Carter delivered an Emergency Declaration,
which moved 900 families from this hazardous area and signified the victory
of this grassroots movement.
Since 1981, as Executive Director of the Center For Health, Environment and Justice (CHEJ), Lois Gibbs has assisted over 10,000 grassroots groups nationwide with the goal of eliminating the sources of dioxin exposure, and other chemicals, which she feared most at Love Canal. In her address, Lois Gibbs will bring the Love Canal story up to date and discuss the issues society
faces today from chemical exposures.

Presented by the Organizational Communication Interest Group

In December 2001, a company known as Enron, which had been ranked seventh in the Fortune 500 listing of the country's largest corporations, filed for bankruptcy protection. On January 28, 2002, Business Week estimated the size of the collapse at $50 billion and went on to claim that $1 billion in employee retirement accounts simply disappeared. As the story of Enron's collapse unfolded in the press and in business periodicals, suspicions arose regarding questionable business and accounting practices occurring both at Enron and at the offices of its accounting partner, Arthur Andersen. Congressional committees held public hearings, criminal prosecutions began, and President Bush proposed a series of reforms of accounting practices designed to prevent future Enron cases.

Since the Enron scandal became public, many other complaints emerged regarding questionable business practices and a lack of corporate social responsibility. The environment of corporate cultures which produces these situations raises important issues for organizational communication scholars to consider: the ability of stakeholders to effectively monitor and regulate operations, the dominance of managerial discourse, and the central role that the U.S. plays in the global economy.

This roundtable discussion, reflecting of the recent deluge of corporate scandals, will explore specific cases (Enron, Arthur Anderson), international globalization and ethics, as well as the general topic of the intersection between organizational communication and ethics.

Presented by the Organizational Communication Interest Group

This interactive roundtable is designed to further our understandings of the ways in which our seemingly private and unique sexualities are increasingly commodified and normalized in and through everyday organizational discourse and practice. Specifically, we explore how sexuality is (re)produced, managed, purchased, sold, celebrated, exploited, harnessed, and denied in contemporary working life. Moreover, we explore the simultaneously empowering and constraining (symbolic and material) effects of contemporary articulations of sexualities for individuals and collectives.

Each participant has agreed to provide a brief presentation (4-5 minutes) of a short, position paper (3-5 pages) that highlights a particular aspect of organized sexualities. The papers/presentations will explore how sexualities are organized in contexts ranging from organizational theory and practice, the academy, the media, the prison, and the high school sex education class.

This panel will analyze and critique of HP in the HP/Compaq merger. Panelists will compare and contrast the two organizational cultures, and the panel will include perspectives from the shareholders, leaders, employees and others.

The purpose of this panel is to explore the ways in which CPM (Communication Privacy Management Theory) may be of value to the study of communicative practices of families formed through transnational adoption. Such families must communicatively negotiate issues of race, culture, class and gender in necessarily explicit ways.

This panel will showcase Sandra Petronio who has developed CPM and her new work, Boundaries of Privacy: Dialectics of Disclosure, (2002). This will be an interactive panel involving dialogue among the participants as well as with audience members on the implications of CPM for researching communicating in and about families formed through transnational adoption.

According to GLSEN (Gay, Lesbian and Straight Education Network), there are now several thousand Gay/Straight Alliances of high school students nationwide. That the existence of such groups is relatively unremarkable in many parts of the country is in large part a result of litigation brought against a handful of local school districts, Salt Lake City among them. This panel will re-unite the attorneys who represented a handful of students and their parents in Salt Lake Citys East High School.

How can the values articulated with the feminist discourse we study be reflected in our classroom practice? This roundtable explores the theory and practice of feminist pedagogy, particularly within the public address classroom. Feminist pedagogical practices can allow a rethinking of relationships within the classroom as it aims to question traditional perspectives of knowledge and authority and to critique dichotomous world views (private vs. public; male vs. female). Participants will talk about specific pedagogical practices/experiences and their implications for transforming the academy by (re)inventing a culture of sustenance.
