by
Kevin J. Ayotte, California State
University, Fresno
The Rhetoric and Public Address Interest Group is soliciting paper and
panel proposals for the 2007 Western States Communication Association
Conference (http://www.westcomm.org) to be held in Seattle, WA, February
16-20, 2007. Research employing any theoretical framework or methodology
in the areas of rhetorical theory, criticism, public address, and related
studies is welcome.
A. COMPETITIVE PAPERS
1. Competitive papers should not have been presented previously at another
conference, be accepted for publication, or have been published.
Submit each paper to one interest group only.
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 and should be
double-checked for accuracy
(b) A 250-500-word abstract of the paper (with title appearing on this
page)
(c) Typically, a maximum of twenty-five pages of text
(d) No information in the paper that identifies the author(s) (beyond that
which appears on the title page)
B. PANEL PROPOSALS
1. Panel proposals should focus on a unifying theme relevant to rhetoric
and public address. Programs may consist of a chair, individual
presenters, and a critic/respondent; however round-table discussions,
performance venues, or other unique formats are encouraged. In alternative
program formats, respondents may be included or omitted as appropriate.
Innovative program proposals, especially those that provide opportunities
for engaged interaction among participants and attendees, are encouraged.
Programs co-sponsored with other interest groups are also welcome.
2. Panel proposals should include the following:
(a) Thematic title of the panel
(b) Names, addresses, phones, e-mail addresses, and affiliations of all
participants
(c) Title and brief description of each presentation
(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.)
The Rhetoric & Public Address Interest Group will accept only electronic
submissions. Those should be formatted in either Word of RTF and sent as
email attachments to Thomas R. Burkholder at:
tom.burkholder@unlv.edu.
Submissions must be received no later that September 1, 2006.
