[ecrea] cfp - Journal of Public Relations Research special issue on Race in/and Public Relations.

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>http://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/hprr 
by September 30, 2010. Submissions should conform to the Instructions
