Call for Papers
(Version française sur le site: http://www.acc-cca.ca/fr/node/397)
Canadian Communication Association
Annual Conference, 2010 (CCA)
June 1-3, Concordia University, Montréal
“Connected Understanding” is the theme of the
Canadian Federation for the Humanities and Social
Sciences (CFHSS) 2010 Congress within which the
Canadian Communication Association (CCA) will
hold its Annual Conference from June 1 - 3 at
Concordia University. We are calling for
proposals that explore, critique and extend this
theme as well as for proposals on any other
relevant themes to Communication Studies.
History Group:
For the first time this year, we will be hosting
a day of panels (June 1) focusing on the
historical study of communications. Proposals
concerning all topics pertinent to the historical
study of communication(s), media, technology and
key thinkers in communication studies are
welcome. These sessions will be jointly hosted by
the CCA and the Media and Communication History
group of the Canadian Historical Association.
During the conference, we will host a meeting to
gauge interest in establishing a more formal
History Interest Group (HIG) within the CCA.
Please send queries regarding the History Group
to Sandra Gabriele [gabriele at uwindsor.ca]
We invite scholars and professionals to submit
proposals that develop the range and depth of
scholarship in communication studies. Proposals may take the form of:
Single-paper presentations
Multi-paper panels
Roundtables or Workshops
Performances or Screenings
Graduate Masters Sessions (GMS - for MA students only).
Please note that Masters students interested in
taking part in the conference must submit through
the Graduate Masters Sessions. See the GMS terms
