Philosophy of Communication Call:
The Philosophy of Communication Division encourages you to submit papers and/or panels for the 2012 conference. Our division will accept submissions in three formats:
Full paper submission of up to 25-30 pages (double spaced/equals about 8000-9000 words) excluding references and illustrative material.
Panel submissions. Panels provide a good forum for the discussion of new approaches and innovative ideas. If you plan to submit a panel, please submit the following details:
- Panel Theme or Title
- Names of panel participants (usually 4, but can be 3, if a sound rationale for this is made)
- A 400 word outline, describing the rationale for the panel
- 150-word abstract of each panelist
- A 75-word description of the panel for the conference program
- Name of panel chair/organizer (usually the same person) and any proposed respondent
Roundtable submissions. Roundtables provide an opportunity for a larger panel (maximum 6 participants) to offer short position statements on a theme of major interest or controversy; in special cases, it may be possible to program a roundtable directly after a panel of longer papers, each contributing to the same larger topic. If you plan to submit a roundtable, please submit the same details as for a panel, except that abstracts from each panelist should be 100-150 words in length and no respondent is required.
If you have any questions concerning these formats or general enquiries regarding your individual submission, please contact Amit Pinchevski. Amit as Vice-chair of the division will coordinate the Phil Comm sessions at ICA 2012, except the preconference which is the responsibility of Laurie Ouellette. Amit's email is amitpi@mscc.huji.ac.il and Laurie's is ouell031@umn.edu. Your submissions will go through a process of peer review and ICA will notify you if your paper has been accepted in early January.
Volunteer to Review Papers and Panels
Given the expected high number of papers/panels, we encourage you to review papers and panels for our Division. If you are interested and have not already volunteered for the coming year, please email Amit Pinchevski, providing some details on your expertise and contact information. You can also nominate yourself on the ICA website.
