Communication History Call:

The Communication History Interest Group is dedicated to providing a base for at least three kinds of historical scholarship in communication: the history of communication (including media history), the history of the field of communication, and the history of the idea of communication. More details about the interest group are available at http://www.communicationhistory.org

We welcome papers, panels, and poster presentations on topics that relate to these broad areas of historical inquiry. The Interest Group reminds potential contributors that 'history' is linked to numerous methodological and theoretical approaches to scholarship, and encourages submitters to think broadly about history.

The Interest Group accepts full papers and panel proposals.

Full papers should be no longer than 30 pages in length, double-spaced.

Panel proposals should include:

1. Official panel listing as it would appear in the program
2. A 400-word rationale for the panel
3. A 150-word abstract of each of the papers on the panel
4. Complete contact information for each panelist
5. A 75-word description of the panel for the conference program

Authors should submit papers and panel proposals to the Communication History Interest Group online at the ICA website.
