[Commlist] cfp: ANZCA 2022

ANZCA 2022 - 22-25 November **CFP closes Sunday, 22 July, 11:59pm AEST**
‘Communicating through Chaos: Connection, Disruption, Community’
University of Wollongong, Australia Convened by School of The Arts, 
English and Media, Faculty of the Arts, Social Sciences and Humanities, 
and Centre for Digital Transformation, Faculty of Engineering and 
Information Sciences


ANZCA 2022 will showcase new directions for research focusing on 
fundamental changes occurring across the broad sectors of communication, 
journalism, digital health, and digital media. This includes burgeoning 
research and methodological frameworks in public and health 
communication, civic participation, and community-building. The 
conference will bring together academics, independent researchers, 
creative practitioners, and activists to explore a range of issues that 
intersect with digital, social, and virtual communities and Web futures, 
as well as the ascendency of streaming services and social gathering 
platforms.

Key topic areas include:

– The transformation and impacts of COVID-era organisational, 
intercultural, and interpersonal communications, and responses to 
misinformation;

– New and dynamic forms of public relations and health communication, 
and the creative use of digital media tools among communities of 
creative practitioners, commentators, audiences, fans, and policymakers;

– The evolution of virtual communication and social engagement in 
networked, mobile, augmented reality, and online spaces in the COVID 
era, and the environmental/carbon impact of these forms of engagement; and
– Adaptions made to civic and community-building communication practices 
that are designed to support participation in society during periods of 
lockdown, isolation, and restricted mobility.

Keynote speakers confirmed: Lev Manovich (City University of New York)
Amanda D. Lotz (Queensland University of Technology)
More coming soon!   Guidelines for Submission: We welcome submissions 
for papers and panels on a wide range of topics as outlined above. We 
invite four types of submissions: individual paper abstracts; panel 
proposals; HDR/ECR roundtable day; and full papers for consideration in 
a special conference-themed journal issue. Please indicate whether you 
intend to present in person, or online.

ABSTRACTS: Abstracts should be a maximum of 250 words. Please indicate 
your submission type and include a 100-word author biography with your 
submission.
PANEL PROPOSALS: Pre-constituted panels can feature 3-4 speakers whose 
papers share a strong thematic link. To propose a panel, please submit 
the following: panel title; an abstract providing an overview of the 
panel (250-500 words); an abstract for each individual paper (250 words 
each); and a 100-word bio for each presenter.
HDR/ECR ROUNDTABLE: For HDR students and ECRs (i.e. those within 5 years 
of being awarded their PhD), we invite submissions of 200 words for our 
Roundtable session on Day 1 of the conference. This session will offer 
each speaker the opportunity to receive feedback on any element of their 
research from both their peers and senior academics. Please include a 
100-word author biography with your submission.

FULL PAPERS: All full papers submitted will undergo a double-blind 
peer-review process to assess the suitability for one of two ANZCA 
conference special issues – in either Communication Research Practices 
(CRP) or Media International Australia (MIA). ANZCA no longer publishes 
conference proceedings. However, the organising committee will issue a 
formal letter of acceptance to the paper author(s) based on the 
peer-review. Please eliminate any authorial identifying information from 
the submitted paper, including from the title page, headers and footers, 
and document file names. This will ensure blind refereeing, and failure 
to deidentify a paper may lead to its rejection.
The body of the paper should be double-spaced, and left-aligned or 
justified. Quotations should be in “double quotation marks” and 
paragraphs of cited text longer than 40 words should be indented. Please 
number all pages of your manuscript in the top-right header. The 
suggested word count is a maximum of 6000 words, including references 
cited. Papers must be referenced in APA style. Authors selected for 
either CRP or MIA will be contacted following the conference, with 
anticipated publication in 2023.

ELIGIBILITY: You do not need to be a member of ANZCA to submit an 
abstract, panel proposal, or full paper. If your submission is accepted, 
you will be asked to register for the conference via our website. There 
are a range of different registration fees available, depending on 
career stage/employment, which will be announced soon. You may make more
