Submission link for Intercultural Communication Interest Group

The Intercultural Communication Interest Group is requesting paper and panel submissions for the 115th Annual ECA Convention. 2024’s convention theme is Currents, which represents our convention location the banks of the Charles River in Cambridge while serving as a metaphor for how ideas are the currents that shape our discipline in this contemporary moment.

The Intercultural Communication Interest Group is devoted to the study and practice of representing, performing, and negotiating cultural identities in face-to-face interaction and mediated communication in cross-cultural and international contexts. The interest group welcomes submissions from scholars at all stages in their academic career, especially those interested in integrating theory and practice in intercultural communication research.

As much of our work intersects with diverse voices and methodologies, we especially encourage proposals that can be co-sponsored by our colleagues in Voices of Diversity and Interpretation & Performance Studies. Some ideas for consideration include critical/cultural considerations, autoethnographic engagement, narrative methodological work, and performance pieces.

Papers and panel/program proposals must be submitted electronically by Monday, September 18, 2023 at 11:59 PM PDT. **please note this is earlier than usual
