The Carl Couch Center invites self-nominations for works to be

Couch Center welcomes works on topics that have been central to Carey's
scholarship.  Among others, submissions might focus on  technology,
time, space and communications, the nature of public life, the relation
between journalism and popular culture.  Applications will be evaluated
based on the quality of (1) mastery of Carey’s approaches and concepts,
(2) originality, (3) organization, (4) presentation, and (5) advancement
of knowledge.  Evaluation will be administered by a Review Committee of six:
