2202 MEDIATION: TRANSLATING SCHOLARSHIP INTO

PRACTICE AND PRACTICE INTO SCHOLARSHIP

8:30-11:30 am Saturday, February 24

This interactive workshop will overview new research and ethical issues in mediation,
facilitate a discussion of how research may affect current mediation practices, and
create a series of questions practitioners would like to see addressed in future research.
The workshop is appropriate both for scholars interested and involved in teaching and
researching mediation and for practicing mediators.

Presenters:

Suzanne McCorkle, Boise State University

Melanie Reese, Boise State University

Fee: $5.00

2203		“Bridging the Gap Between Theory and Application: An activity Centered Approach to Teaching Communication Theory”
8:30-11:30 am, Saturday, February 24
Based on Dr. Malcolm Knowle’s adult experiential learning paradigm, this workshop will demonstrate how an activity centered approach to instructing communication concepts can increase learner awareness of the value of communication principles. Workshop participants will experience how the model activity, utilizing conflict management as a medium, can bridge the gap between theory and the practical application of several communication concepts to “real-life” situations. They will then cooperate in developing activities in other topical areas using a structured approach that will be provided. At the end of the workshop, each participant will leave with a packet containing a copy of the completed model that was used for demonstration, a structured guideline for further activity development and suggestions for various ways to incorporate activities into their lesson plans.
Presenters:
	Julie Bruno, Sierra College William Bray, San Francisco State University
Fee:	$30.00

2204		Translating YOUR Scholarship for the Mass Media, the Popular Culture, and the General Public
8:30-11:30 am, Saturday, February 24
This workshop will share strategies and tips for WSCA members to popularize their research and teaching expertise and get media coverage – to better reach the general public and specialized audiences who could benefit. Workshop participants will also be offered “training” on meeting the media.
Presenters:
	Mary-Lou Galician, Arizona State University William Eadie, National Communication Association
Fee:	$5.00

2205		Online Survey Research Methods and Data
8:30-11:30 am, Saturday, February 24
Using the Internet to collect social science data is a relatively new phenomenon, but the success of online data collection is of growing interest to communication researchers who are beginning to see the Internet as viable and useful research tool. However, due to the technical nature of web page construction, online survey construction and design, server and database interaction, successful implementation of online research can be a bit frustrating. The first component of this workshop is a short analysis of the rationale, strengths and weaknesses of collecting self-report data online. Next is an interactive demonstration and instruction on constructing .asp-versions of quantitative and qualitative self-report surveys. Topics in this section include construction methods for different question types (i.e., Likert, semantic differential, open-ended), numeric coding of survey responses, usability and design considerations. Next is instruction on how survey responses are posted to a database using SQL (Secure Query Language or CGI scripts. The final portion is a demonstration of how to efficiently transfer the numeric or data from the database to statistical analysis software packages.
Presenters:
	Ryan Burns, University of Oklahoma Michelle Mazur, University of Oklahoma
Fee:	$10.00

2206		Revisiting Feminist Alliances
1:00-4:00 pm, Saturday, February 24
Racial difference marks the site of an ongoing struggle in feminist alliance formation. This workshop aims to open up spaces of silence, guilt and anger that underlie this struggle. Panelists will open the dialogue by discussing their research and experiences, and then open the discussion to attendees. Later the group will break out into groups of white women and women of color to continue to clarify issues of tension. From there the groups will move into a “fishbowl” formation so that each group can listen in on the conversations of the other. The workshop will close by moving back into the large group to discuss what each workshop participant envisions for herself for the following year.
Presenters:
	Aimee M. Carrillo Rowe, University of Washington Sheena Malhotra, California State University, Northridge Kathryn Sorrells, California State University, Northridge
Fee:	$5.00

Fee: None

2211		IS DIALOGUE THE ANSWER? THAT DEPENDS – WHAT’S THE QUESTION?
8:30-4:00 pm, Saturday, February 24
Especially in the past decade, “dialogue” has become a focal concern of educational reformers, composition scholars, organizational theorists, psychotherapists, political theorists and activists, feminists, philosophers, and communication scholars and teachers. In virtually every instance of its use, this term is honorific. The participants on this program affirm the importance and usefulness of dialogue, and we also recognize that it can be problematic in many different ways. Our goals are to explore problems that accompany efforts by communication professionals to appropriate insights from the dialogue literature and problems that may arise in efforts to promote dialogue in interpersonal, organizational, public, on-line, and other settings. We also want to engage those attending the program in conversation about these problems.

10:00-11:20 am, Monday, February 26
Presented by the Intercultural Communication Interest Group
Panel members will discuss their experience as participants in service-learning projects, which were integral components in two graduate-level seminars. A brief introduction to community service learning will be followed by descriptions of the projects, and insights gained from the community service work. Panel members will also explore the challenges faced in their work and articulate problematic areas of community service learning. In one case, graduate students in the International Communication seminar at CSUN participated in a project that combined action research with service learning pedagogy. The project focused on challenging media-generated, negative and stereotypical representations about Pacoima, a low-income, primarily Latino/a and African American Community. CSUN students worked with Pacoima Beautiful, a non-profit organization dedicated to environmental education and advocacy, to uncover stories and visual images of what the residents found beautiful, positive, and special about their community. In the second case study, panel members will discuss their involvement in a service-learning project implemented in the Feminist Rhetorical Theory seminar. Audience participation in a discussion of the benefits and challenges of integrating community service learning projects in intercultural communication courses will be facilitated by the chair.

Maple Ave, Fresno, CA 93740-8027.

I. PROGRAM PROPOSALS

1. Program proposals should be focus on a unifying theme relevant to research, theory, or instruction in the area of the sponsoring interest group. Typically, a program will consist of a chair and individual presenters, although round-table discussions, performance venues, or other unique formats are encouraged. Respondents may be included or omitted as appropriate. Alternatively, people are encouraged to use facilitators instead of respondents to promote conversations between the participants and audience. Innovative program proposals are encouraged, especially those that provide opportunities for meaningful interaction between participants and attendees. Programs co-sponsored with other interest groups are also welcomed.

2. Thematic programs that capture the spirit of "Communication Creates, Constrains and Liberates" are encouraged. Panels should critically engage the myriad of implications of this theme in our theory and research as well as our personal and social practices.

3. Program proposals should include:

(a) Thematic title of the program

(b) Names, addresses, phones, email addresses, and affiliation of all participants

(d) Equipment needed for the panel

(Note: equipment availability is extremely limited. See the WSCA Policy on the Use of Audio-Visual Equipment at Conventions)

4. Five copies of each program proposal must be RECEIVED by the appropriate interest-group program planner NO LATER THAN Thursday, June 14, 2001

II. WORKSHOP PROPOSALS

1. A workshop is intended as a training or informational short course that can be presented in a three-hour or six-hour time block. A workshop topic may concern the presentation of teaching innovations, an area of research, a new theoretical perspective, and the application of some body of knowledge, skill development, or any clearly focused topic. Workshop presenters are encouraged to advertise their workshops and solicit participation.

2. Workshops are scheduled for the first full day of the convention, March 2, 2002. Participants pay a modest registration fee. The fee is intended to cover only the direct cost (materials, etc.) incurred in conducting the workshop (see #4 below).

3. Workshops of interest to members of the Western

Forensics Association is encouraged and will be programmed on Sunday evening, after completion of the WFA tournament.

4. Workshop proposals should include:

See the WSCA Policy on the Use of Audio-Visual Equipment at Conventions)

(g) Maximum enrollment

(h) Fee amount, set in accordance with WSCA policy (see below)

(i) Time-block requested (e.g., three hours, six hours)

5. Guide to setting fees for workshop leaders: WSCA has set $5.00 as the base fee for any workshop. The first $5.00 of each registrant’s fees goes to cover convention costs. The fee above $5.00 should be set at such a level as to provide reimbursement to the workshop leader(s) only for the cost of materials and any out-of-the-ordinary expenses.

III. COMPETITIVE PAPERS

1. Authors are encouraged to submit papers to the interest groups for competitive selection. Papers may include research reports employing any methodology, theoretical developments or critiques, critical analyses, and in some cases, works in progress. Submit each paper to one interest group only.

Special Note: Regarding the Community College, Elementary, and Secondary Education Interest Groups, historically, these interest groups have not sponsored competitive papers. Please contact the interest group chair before submitting a competitive paper to either interest group.

(Note: Competitive papers should not have been presented previously at another conference, (with the exception of a student-only conference), be accepted for publication, or published, with the exception of a student-only publication)

2. Submitted papers should include:

(a) A detachable title page with title of paper, names of all authors, and their addresses, phone numbers, email addresses, and affiliations. Again, this information should be included for each author.

(b) A 250-500-word abstract of the paper (with title appearing on this page),

(d) No information identifying the author may appear in the paper beyond the title page

3. Submission: Information on individual interest group requirements and addresses for submission to interest group chairs will be on the WSCA web site after February, 2001 and printed in the WSCA Newsletter the spring prior to the conference. Completed papers are submitted directly to the interest group chairs, unless the interest group indicates otherwise.

4. Research in Progress. Some interest groups sponsor programs of "Research in Progress." Papers submitted to these programs should be so designated on the cover page and should not exceed ten pages in length. Be sure that the interest group you are planning to send your paper accepts research in progress before submitting it.

5. Debut Award. The WSCA Executive Club Debut Award is made to the author of a paper presented at the convention by an author or co-authors "who have not presented a paper at a state, regional, national or international convention, or published in any academic journal." All authors of a co-authored paper must meet these eligibility requirements to be considered a Debut Paper. If you believe you qualify, please write DEBUT PAPER in the upper right-hand corner of the title page. Papers presented at student-only conferences or published in student-only journals are exempted from the requirement.

Any paper eligible for the Debut Award should be marked "DEBUT" in the upper right-hand corner of the title page (indicate whether bachelors masters or doctoral student). Some interest groups also sponsor debut programs, but papers need not be presented on a debut panel to be eligible for the Executive Club Debut Award.

6. Five copies of each competitive paper must be RECEIVED by the appropriate interest-group program planner NO LATER THAN Thursday September 13, 2001

IV. PRECONFERENCE ANNOUNCEMENT

BASIC COURSE CONFERENCE

In keeping with the general theme of the conference, this preconference will focus on the way in which the basic course constrains and liberates students. Papers 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 (d) Are outcome assessments a good thing?

The basic course conference will be held on Saturday, March 2, 2002 and will be coordinated by Robert Powell, Department of Communication, California State University, Fresno.
