2009 Conference Information
Join us in Laramie! The 23rd annual conference of the Rocky Mountain Communication Association (formerly the Colorado Speech Communication Association), will be held on Saturday, April 18th, 2009 at the University of Wyoming in Laramie. The theme for the conference is Communication in a Time of Change. The theme explores the role and importance of communication in these turbulent times. Where does our discipline come into play in the face of political, economic, and global change? What lessons have we learned from the past that assist us with contemporary challenges? How has our discipline itself evolved, and what new questions await on the horizon? Submissions outside the purview of this year’s theme will, of course, be given full consideration as well. The 2009 keynote speaker will be Don Shaw, University of North Carolina. Go here for more information. Both completed papers and panel discussion ideas are encouraged. Submissions must be received by February 20th, 2009. If your submission is selected, it is expected that you will register for and attend the conference. Only electronic submissions will be accepted. All submissions will undergo a blind peer review. Please indicate if you are student author (specifying graduate or undergraduate), as exemplary completed student papers - both grad and undergrad - will be submitted to the RMCA board for Top Paper Award consideration. Panel submissions must include brief abstracts for each paper within the panel and an overall panel abstract. All submissions, paper or panel, must include with an abstract five to six keywords. Send submissions electronically to: Ken Smith |
