[Commlist] Call for Proposals for Health & Environmental Justice in Latina/o Communities: Bridging the Gaps Among Diverse Methodological Perspectives

*Call for Proposals for Health & Environmental Justice in Latina/o 
Communities: Bridging the Gaps Among Diverse Methodological Perspectives
*
26-27 September 2024 Salt Lake City, UT

*Submissions close 27 May 2023*

The Edna Anderson-Taylor Communication Institute at the University of 
Utah invites proposals from advanced doctoral students who are studying 
the intersections of health and environmental justice in Latino/a 
communities. In this symposium, 12 doctoral students from communication 
and related disciplines will have the opportunity to present their work 
in progress to one another and to a panel of faculty mentors from around 
the country. Each student will participate in a panel of 4 other 
students. Each panel will be overseen by two faculty mentors who 
research issues related to health and/or environmental justice in 
Latino/a communities, one with critical/cultural expertise and one with 
quantitative social science expertise. Faculty mentors will provide 
detailed feedback and lead panel discussions on their student panelists' 
work.

There are growing bodies of excellent research on the importance of 
cultural representation, challenges of cultural adaptation, and 
complexities of migration in addressing problems related to health 
disparities and environmental injustice from scholars using diverse 
methodological and theoretical approaches. Unfortunately, these scholars 
are often not in conversation with one another. Our goal with the 
symposium is to help bridge the gap among different approaches and 
traditions of communication research by creating a setting where those 
trained in different approaches can think together about this year's 
symposium theme. Specifically, we hope to provide an opportunity for 
emerging scholars to present and get feedback on their work from 
established scholars who approach our theme from both critical/cultural 
and computational perspectives.

Short proposals of 500 words are invited for work-in-progress papers of 
roughly 3,000-4,000 words. Accepted participants will turn in their 
completed draft ahead of the symposium for mentors and other 
participants to read in advance. This is to facilitate productive 
discussion and feedback on each participant's paper.

You can submit your proposal using the following form:
