Call for Papers Graduate Fellows, and Panels

All papers and panel proposals must be received by midnight March 16, 2012 to be considered for inclusion in the conference. Of particular interest are papers relating to communication ethics in three conceptual threads to be led by visiting scholars:

• Philosophy of communication/ethics

• Corporate communication/ethics

Submissions should be double-spaced, with a maximum of 30 pages, including references.  Any citation style is permitted (e.g., MLA, APA, Chicago).  Please indicate on the title page if the author is a graduate student and also if this presentation will be the author's first at a professional conference (a debut presentation).  Send papers as attached files via email to cec@duq.edu.

Panel Proposals may include up to five participants and a respondent.  Please include one title page with a 500-word (maximum) abstract and rationale for the panel.  Each presenter should include a title and 200-word abstract.  Send the panel proposal as an attached file via email to cec@duq.edu.

Graduate Fellows

Potential Graduate Fellows must be graduate students submitting single-authored papers and be currently enrolled in M.A. or Ph.D. programs other than Duquesne University.  Conference planners will select the top graduate student papers and invite the authors to participate in the conference as Graduate Fellows.  Graduate Fellows present their papers in a spotlight session and are guests of honor at a special reception on the final evening of the conference.
