The International Communication Association (ICA) and the Communication Association of Japan (CAJ) invite you to participate in an ICA Preconference in Tokyo, to be held 19 and 20 June 2010. Given that the ICA conference will be held in Asia, CAJ would like to take the opportunity to celebrate the occasion by offering a program of some very special events dealing with The Communication Discipline in Asia.
We will be featuring a special lecture by Min Sun Kim, along with a panel session on "Asiancentric Perspectives on Communication Research," a symposium pertaining to "The State of the Art of the Communication Discipline in the (non-U.S.) World," and individual research presentations. We welcome you to drop by Tokyo on your way to Singapore, and celebrate ICA's coming to Asia!
The ICA Preconference will be held Saturday, 19 June through Sunday, 20 June 2010, in central Tokyo, at the supermodern campus of Meiji University - one of Japan's largest universities. Also, one of the aims of the Preconference is to serve as an alternative venue for quality papers that could not be accommodated at the ICA conference in Singapore - so, for those of you who missed the November deadline for paper submissions to the ICA Conference in Singapore, this will be an opportunity to still participate in the conference. We will be accepting individual presentation proposals until 20 February 2010. Only an abstract is required to be submitted, and research may still be ongoing at the time of submission. However, we expect presentations to be based on completed research by the time of the Preconference.
We hope you will stop into Tokyo on your way to Singapore, and join us in celebration of ICA's coming to Asia. Looking forward to seeing you there!
