[ecrea] Journal of Public Relations Research

Fri Jun 25 07:43:44 GMT 2010



Call for Submissions

 

The Journal of Public Relations Research seeks scholarly articles for a special issue on Race in/and Public Relations.

The guest editors of the special issue wish to open up a space for theoretical as well as practical engagement with issues of race and ethnicity in public relations scholarship. This call aims to especially attract conceptual or empirical pieces that look at race and ethnicity on a wide continuum ranging from overt or covert racism in mainstream public relations practices to public relations strategies adopted by ethnic groups and from undercurrents of race in organizational messages and discourses to the politics of race and ethnicity in public campaigns.

The guest editors are open to a variety of approaches including those that address the interests of professionals in making a business case for diversity as well as critical explorations of race and ethnicity in public relations through a range of social, political, or cultural lenses including, for example, postmodern, postcolonial, feminist, critical race theory or indigenous ones. The contexts of the articles could be historical, local, national, transnational, or even virtual.

As with any other issue, the contributions should be in line with the journal’s primary mission to deliver scholarship that creates, tests, or expands public relations theory.

Manuscripts for the special issue are due to the JPRR Manuscript Central site at http://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/hprr by September 30, 2010. Submissions should conform to the Instructions for Authors on the Journal's Web site: http://www.tandf.co.uk/journals/journal.asp?issn=1062-726X&linktype=44

Please note at the top of the abstract and in the appropriate space in the online submission form that the submission is a “candidate for the special issue on Race in/and Public Relations”.

Guest Editors: Lee Edwards, Manchester Business School, UK., ((lee.edwards /at/ mbs.ac.uk) ) and Debashish Munshi ((munshi /at/ mngt.waikato.ac.nz) ), The University of Waikato, New Zealand.
