[Commlist] cfp: Exclusions in the History and Historiography of Communication Studies precon

Invitation to an ICA Preconference: Exclusions in the History and 
Historiography of Communication Studies

International Communication Association

Remote Preconference



26 & 27 May, 2021

Organizers: David W. Park, Jefferson Pooley, Peter Simonson

Last year we distributed a call for papers in pursuit of a 
pre-conference that would respond to our historical moment when we 
should be "intensively interrogating patterns of exclusion and hegemony 
that have continued to constitute it: around global region 
(de-Westernizing, theory from the South, persistent patterns of American 
influence/hegemony), race (#communicationsowhite), gender (#metoo, 
#gendercom, Matilda effects,), and indigeneity/colonization 
(postcolonial and decolonial initiatives)." After receiving an abundance 
of excellent submissions, we are happy to say that we have now 
programmed a pre-conference that very much lives up to this promise. 
This pre-conference is animated by papers that benefit from a rigorous 
application of historical methods and a focused application of the 
concept of exclusion. The papers in this pre-conference interrogate 
patterns of exclusion, focusing in particular on exclusion as it 
pertains to-individually and in concert with each other-gender, 
political identity, race, intellectual traditions, patterns of 
colonialism, geography, and methodology. The presenters come from 
diverse geographical and intellectual backgrounds, and in service to a 
more inclusive vision for our pre-conference, the pre-conference will be 
robustly bilingual, with simultaneous interpretation in Spanish and English.
