HCTD Call
for Papers 2007
Submission deadline: February 14, 2007
Type of Work:
The Human Communication and
Technology Division invites papers, panels, roundtables, and scholar to scholar
(interactive media) sessions that examine the theory and application of
communication technologies.
All epistemologies are
welcome, including (but not limited to) rhetorical, critical/cultural,
qualitative, quantitative, or multiple methods perspectives.
These perspectives should be
used to investigate a specific topic of interest, especially those centered
around this year’s convention theme, Communicating
Worldviews: Faith—Intellect—Ethics.
Other topics have included
(but are not limited to) virtual teams or groups, instructional technology,
user interface, virtual communities, open source, politics, information
literacy, international perspectives, theoretical exploration, policy, and a
variety of other topics that examine the implications of technologically
mediated communication.
Type of Submission:
There are several types of
submissions.
First, submit completed
papers (no more than 25 pages of text) and panel proposals for competitive
evaluation for the traditional paper and panel type of submission. We
especially encourage students to submit their papers and are introducing the
first annual Top Student Paper Award in the amount of $75.
Second, submit roundtable
proposals. Roundtables are not paper-based, but discussion based and should be
comprised of experts on a particular topic that make brief statements (2 min.
per person) before interacting with the audience.
Third, scholar to scholar
sessions are encouraged. These presentations could be poster presentations as
well as making use of other interactive media. Papers with strong visual
presentation requirements can also be submitted for scholar to scholar
sessions. Submitters of traditional papers should indicate whether they are
willing to present their paper in the scholar to scholar format as well.
Submitting:
Submission deadline: February 14, 2007
All submissions must be made
online through the NCA site.
You will be directed to the All Academic site with prompts to clarify the
process.
Submissions will be accepted
only in these formats: Word, PDF (Adobe Acrobat), and Rich Text. Do NOT
compress files before sending. Audio and visual requests should accompany your
submission.
All authors should prepare a
250-500 word abstract that will be submitted as plain text on the submission
page. No information identifying the author may appear in the paper. If your
submission is accepted, the abstract and author information will be permanently
posted on the HCTD web site (http://hctd.net).
Authors are reminded that it
is good practice, when submitting abstracts and other information to an online
site, to compose in a local editor and cut and paste into the abstract and
other fields.
