La Raza Caucus
National Communication Association
Call for Submissions for 2013 Convention in Washington, DC
GENERAL INFORMATION
The La Raza Caucus of the National Communication Association invites submissions to the 99th Annual Convention to be held in Washington D.C., November 21-24, 2013. As per our mission, "The caucus embraces an intersectional approach to identity that considers the ways race, ethnicity, class, gender, nation, and sexuality converge to shape Latina/o experiences," and "the goals of the caucus are educational advocacy, networking, recruitment and retention, and cultural promotion" (http://www.natcom.org/interestgroups/). We embrace a wide range of methodological and theoretical perspectives, including quantitative, qualitative, and critical.
This year's conference theme is "Connections," with the idea that the convention should "explore the vast array of connections" in our discipline and professional organization, including connections "that have been made as well as those that haven't been made, those that should be made as well as those that should not" (http://www.natcom.org/convention/). We welcome submissions that address issues pertinent to and meaningful for our caucus, and especially those that combine a focus on our mission with a concern for the conference theme, "Connections."
SUBMISSION INSTRUCTIONS
We will accept three types of submissions: 1) competitive papers (referred to in the submission process as "individual papers"), 2) paper sessions, and 3) panel discussions.
1. COMPETITIVE PAPERS ("Individual papers"): These are full papers submitted individually, which will be reviewed and, if accepted, paneled by the program planner alongside other competitively selected papers. These should NOT be merely abstracts or extended abstracts, but rather complete papers. When preparing a submission, please observe the following:
*On a separate page of your paper upload, please include a title, a 250-300 word abstract, and three to five keywords.
*Before submitting, be SURE to remove all information from the paper upload that identifies the author(s) in order to facilitate the blind review process. In NCA Submission Central, you will enter paper title, description, and author-related information as you are submitting.
*The paper should be no longer than 25 pages (double-spaced, 12-point font), excluding references.
*On the first screen of the submission process, there will be a question that allows students to indicate that it is a student paper. If you are an undergraduate or graduate student, PLEASE use this question to specify that this is a student paper.
2. PAPER SESSIONS: In this type of submission, one person submits a full paper session. Each person, if accepted, will present her/his own paper. These papers should be centered on a common theme. When preparing a submission, please include:
*A title and rationale for the paper session of no more than 250 words.
*A title and abstract of no more than 250 words for each individual paper, as well as the name and institutional affiliation of each author.
*A chair is required, and her/his name and institutional affiliation should be included. If the participants have secured a respondent, that information should also be included.
*Participants must come from more than one institution, and in general, proposals that include participants from multiple institutions will be evaluated more positively than those with participants from only two institutions.
3. PANEL DISCUSSIONS: A panel discussion is submitted as a pre-conceived and complete session of presenters discussing a topic/issue. There are no papers presented at a panel discussion. Panel discussion submissions should include:
*A general abstract of no more than 75 words for the discussion.
*A rationale for the discussion of no more than 250 words.
*The names and institutional affiliations of all participants.
*Participants must come from more than one institution, and in general, proposals that include participants from multiple institutions will be evaluated more positively than those with participants from only two institutions.
*A Chair is required, and should be listed, along with her/his institutional affiliation.
For assistance with all stages of the submission process, including live and recorded step-by-step instructions on how to submit, please visit the Convention Library (http://www.natcom.org/conventionresources/). In particular, please be sure to review the "NCA Professional Standards for Convention Participants" prior to submission. All submissions must be made online through NCA Submission Central (available as a link from www.natcom.org/convention/).
THE DEADLINE FOR SUBMISSIONS IS WEDNESDAY, MARCH 27, 2013 AT 11:59 P.M. PACIFIC. No late submissions will be accepted. Be sure to submit early to avoid any potential last-minute problems.
