Rhetoric and Public Address Interest Group

Western States Communication Association 2014 Convention

Call for Papers

Submission Deadline: September 1, 2013



The Rhetoric and Public Address (RPA) Interest Group invites submission of competitive papers and panel program proposals for the 2014 WSCA Convention. The convention theme is “Transfer.” More information about the convention theme can be found on the WSCA website.



Submissions to the Rhetoric and Public Address Interest Group should adhere to the following guidelines.



A. Competitive Papers

Authors are invited to submit completed papers dealing with rhetoric and public address from any theoretical, methodological, or critical perspective. Competitive paper submissions should not be submitted to another interest group (in other words, do not submit the same paper to RPA and to the Media Studies interest group for the same year’s conference), have been presented previously at another convention/conference, be accepted for publication, or have been published. Only one competitive paper per author will be accepted. Competitive paper submissions must be made electronically and should include TWO separate attachments:



1. The first attachment must be an information page with the title of the paper, names of all authors, their institutional affiliations, addresses, phone numbers, and email addresses. This must be attached as a separate document. Audio-visual requests should also be listed on the information page, but please note that equipment availability is extremely limited (see the WSCA policy on Audio-Visual Equipment at Conventions in the Policies and Procedures Manual on the web site: http://www.westcomm.org/);



2. The second attachment should be the paper. The submitted paper should NOT include any author(s) identification anywhere in the document, including on the title page or in the header. The paper should include:



a. A 100-150 word abstract (with the title appearing on this page);

b. A maximum of 25 pages of text (excluding title page and notes/references). Longer papers will not be sent out for review;

c. Authors “who have not presented a paper at a state, regional, national or international convention, or published in any academic journal” should include the word “DEBUT” in the upper right-hand corner of the title page. Papers authored by students should include the word “STUDENT” in the upper right-hand corner of the title page. All authors must meet debut or student criteria for the paper to be so designated.







B. Panel Program Proposals



Panel program proposals should focus on a unifying theme relevant to research, theory, or criticism in the area of rhetoric and public address. Programs may consist of a chair, individual paper presenters, and a critic/respondent; however, round-table discussions, performance venues, or other unique formats are encouraged. In alternative program formats, respondents may be included or omitted as appropriate. Innovative program proposals, especially those that provide opportunities for enhanced interaction among participants and attendees or those that address the conference theme directly, are encouraged. Programs co-sponsored with other interest groups are also welcome. Panel program proposals should include:



1. Title and 250-500 word rationale for the thematic panel/program;

2. Title and 100-150 word abstract of each presentation;

3. Names, affiliations, addresses, phone numbers, and email addresses of all participants;

4. Expected size of audience;

5. Equipment needed (please note that equipment availability is extremely limited).



Paper/Program Submission Process

Submit competitive papers and panel program proposals to Michael F. Walker, Chair of the RPA Interest Group, via email at (rhetoricpublicaddress.wsca /at/ gmail.com). Papers and program proposals should be submitted in PDF format if possible. If unable to submit in PDF format, please use Microsoft Word. Paper submissions should include two separate attachments: 1) The title/information page, and 2) The paper with all author(s) identification removed. Only electronic submissions will be accepted. All submissions must be received via email by 11.59pm (PST) on Sunday, September 1, 2013.
