Call for Papers

An ISPR Presence Panel for the 100th Conference of the National Communication Association
November 20-23, 2014
Chicago, Illinois, USA

http://www.natcom.org/convention/

Deadline for abstracts: March 22, 2014

The National Communication Association (NCA) is celebrating its centennial and the theme for its fall 2014 conference in Chicago is “The Presence of Our Past(s)”:  “In addition to the convention’s annual array of provocative scholarship, this special moment calls for us to reflect together on the study, teaching, and practices of communication over the past 100 years.”

We are organizing an ISPR panel on this theme, focused on the evolution – the past, present and possible futures — of (tele)presence phenomena and scholarship. We welcome submissions on all topics on this ‘big picture’ theme, using any format or method.

The conference deadline is March 26 so time is short. If you’re interested in participating, please submit an abstract and a biographical statement (and/or any questions of course) via email to [email protected]  by SATURDAY MARCH 22.

Organizers:

Jihyun Kim, PhD
Bloomsburg University of Pennsylvania

David Westerman, PhD
North Dakota State University

Matthew Lombard, PhD
Temple University
