ECA 2022 Convention - Communication Traits Interest Group Call for Papers

Call for Papers

Communication Traits Interest Group

113th Annual ECA Convention

April 7-9, 2022

Philadelphia, PA

(Re)Union

The Communication Traits Interest Group is requesting paper and panel submissions for the 2022 ECA Conference. This year’s conference provides an opportunity for educators, researchers, and industry professionals to share, discuss, and learn about scholarly research across a diversity of contexts and methodological approaches. This will be the first “in person” ECA conference after two years of being unable to gather our community together.

The Communication Traits Interest Group seeks submissions that explore and examine Communication Traits and their effects on the ways in which individuals and the public initiate, foster, communicate, perceive, comprehend, inspire, celebrate, and critique human communication interactions within a diversity of contexts. The interest group is also interested in submissions that aim to investigate the role that Communication Traits play within a diversity of contexts on a global scale.

Papers and panel proposals must be submitted electronically by 11:59 PM (ET), October 15, 2021.

ECA will be using Attendee Interactive to manage submissions and reviews (go to the  ECA website; under the tab “Convention” at the top of the screen). All submissions should be uploaded through Attendee Interactive. To submit your work, you will be prompted to login using ECA-specific credentials or to create an account. (Note: Do not use login credentials you may have created for any other association, such as NCA, that also uses Attendee Interactive.)
