Call for Papers
Eastern Communication Association 113th Annual Convention
Philadelphia, PA
April 7 to 9, 2022
Community College Interest Group
Submission Deadline: October 15, 2021 11:59PM ET
The Community College Interest Group invites completed papers, panels, and round table discussions that focus on the convention theme of (Re)union. Pam Lannutti, First Vice President, notes that ECA 2022 offers us a space for “joyous reconnection” as well as the opportunity to create new connections. Additionally, ECA 2022 will provide a space for “reflection, deliberation, and learning as we emerge from the global pandemic and consider how we, as communication educators and scholars, will contribute to a post-pandemic world.”
In keeping with the theme of (Re)union, we invite you to consider a submission that addresses the opportunities we have to contribute to a post-pandemic future. What opportunities do we have for reflection on our teaching, research, professional development, and even personal development? What opportunities and challenges do we face in our endeavor to build new unions in our discipline, on our campuses, in our communities, and in the larger culture? It will be exciting to discuss, deliberate, and learn how our (Re)union will inform us about the potential paths we have to move forward.
The Community College Interest Group at ECA utilizes Attendee Interactive for all submissions and blind-reviews. Upload your submission (completed paper, panel, and round table discussion) at the following site: https://ecasite.org/aws/ECA/pt/sp/convention_attendee_interactive
