[ecrea] ECA Panel Seeks A Fourth Person

Wed Sep 30 22:56:34 GMT 2009



Greetings:


For anyone watching the communication surrounding President Obama's administration, 2009 has certainly been a fascinating interaction of a lot of factors and many of these seemed to come together as the President was preparing to deliver his address to school children. I am putting together a panel for the 2010 Eastern Communication Association conference addressing this controversy. Currently, we have scholars from various institutions speaking on:
-The influence of race
-A historical perspective on the presidential school speech reactions
-The media's construction of the controversy

And we had considered that our fourth might offer a perspective on how special interest groups have contributed to the backlash; however we are also open to another perspective that would complement this discussion. If you are interested, please email me. I am looking to fill the spot first, but also would like abstracts (along with your institutional and contact information) by October 5.


Best Regards,
Audra Diers
