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

Wed May 01 15:08:06 GMT 2024




*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: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSebPz4m9v35Hy9XNZn9aSCqf9W_jcvwu6RfTaR5bcvUMY_g3w/viewform?usp=sharing <https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSebPz4m9v35Hy9XNZn9aSCqf9W_jcvwu6RfTaR5bcvUMY_g3w/viewform?usp=sharing>

*All proposals are due 27 May 2024, with decisions about acceptance expected by 7 June 2024.*

*Please send any submission questions to Dr. Sean Lawson at (sean.lawson /at/ utah.edu)*
