Thursday, November 17 - Sunday, November 20, 2010 in New Orleans, Louisiana
DEADLINE: SUNDAY,   March 13th, 2011 at 11:59pm Pacific Time
Eurasian Communication Association of North America (ECANA) and the 
Russian Communication Association (RCA) invite the submission of 
completed papers (or extended abstracts) and panel proposals that 
focus on various aspects of communication theory and practice in 
Eastern Europe, Russian Federation and former Soviet republics.
Following the official theme for the NCA 97th Annual Convention 
Voice http://www.natcom.org/convention/ , ECANA will encourage 
submissions that focus on your experience related  various academic 
constituencies, each with diverse perspectives and life experiences. 
Although NCA may advance the importance of respecting assorted 
fields, paradigms, experiences, and backgrounds, several real 
questions remain: How do you manage to make the difference and get 
your individual voice heard? How does your voice contribute to the 
research body of our field and the voice of our profession? How is 
this done?  Sustaining a convention theme of Voice will be one way 
to begin (or continue) a conversation about these critical 
questions. When considering your potential participation with 
ECANA/RCA activities, please keep the convention theme in mind.
We welcome any methodological approach, theoretical perspective, or 
situation that may advance our understanding of communication 
discipline. For example, papers about communicative or rhetorical 
behavior, social interaction, theoretical contributions, any form of 
mediated or face-to-face form of communication or interaction 
between people from the above countries and cultures would be 
appropriate. However, submissions should not be limited to these 
areas as long as they are related to the above-mentioned regions in 
some way. In addition to the traditional types of submissions, we 
encourage innovative methods to involve scholars that may not use 
traditional presentational formats or require the literal presence 
of such participants.
Superior submissions may be programmed in the Scholar to Scholar 
Interactive Media Series, which provides a format especially 
appropriate for visual and aural work, multimedia projects, and 
interactive presentations.
All paper submissions must be uploaded to NCA Submission Central  at 
https://ww4.aievolution.com/nca1101/ in order to be considered. 
Please note that you must strip ALL identifying information from 
your paper prior to submission. Specifically, authors will enter

title and abstracts. If you are not a member of NCA, you will be 
able to create a user name and password for NCA Submission Central. 
Submissions should not exceed 25 pages of primary text [excluding 
abstract, title page and works cited page(s)].
The best student and faculty submissions will be recognized and top 
papers will be considered for publication in the RCA-sponsored 
Russian Journal of Communication.
Those who submit extended abstracts should note that if their paper 
is selected for the convention, they will be expected to upload a
