(NAME-MCE) CALL FOR PAPERS - NCA APACSD Division

[Jennifer Huynh Thi Anh Morrison]

APACSD 2008 Call For Papers


 

The Asian/Pacific American Communication Studies Division
(APACSD) invites thematic program proposals and papers focusing on
Asian/Pacific American cultural issues and politics, strategies of engagement
(both within and across communities), conflicts, challenges, as well as
creative solutions. Of special interest is scholarship linking theory and
action and proposing new perspectives for such issues as globalization,
marginalization, othering, minority cultural politics, discrimination, forced
assimilation, representation, and resistance through the lens of communication,
as well as a literal, metaphorical, or virtual adaptation of the 2008
convention theme, “unCONVENTIONal.” 


  
 

APACSD welcomes papers utilizing various methodologies and
theoretical perspectives as well as encouraging submissions that seek to
promote innovation, creativity, and imagination.  Specifically, APACSD and NCA encourage
submissions that discuss, plan, and promote collaboration between the academy
and members of allied associations.  Moreover,
we encourage the submission of co-sponsored programs and program proposals with
alternative or innovative formats (round table discussions, debates, among
others).




Additionally, please indicate if your submission would be appropriate for the
new Scholar-to-Scholar interactive sessions. 
Our division will review your submission but it may be scheduled during
the Scholar-to-Scholar session.  For more
information about the Scholar-to-Scholar sessions, please read over the
Scholar-to-Scholar call for papers.
