Call for Papers: Harboring Innovation
Eastern Communication Association 114th Annual Convention
Baltimore, MD
March 29-April 2, 2023
Community College Interest Group
Submission Deadline: October 16, 2022, 11:59PM ET
The Community College Interest Group invites completed papers, panels, and round table discussions that focus on the convention theme: Harboring Innovation. Jennifer Waldeck, First Vice President & Primary Convention Planner, notes that “When the 2020 ECA convention was canceled less than two weeks before its scheduled date, innovation probably meant something different to us all than it does today.” As such, ECA 2023 is an opportunity for us to bring our best ideas for innovating the field, our scholarship, our teaching, and our outreach.
In keeping with the theme of Harboring Innovation, we invite you to consider submissions that address our continuing opportunities to contribute to a post-pandemic future. What innovations have we incorporated that allow for reflection on our teaching, research, and professional development? What teaching, scholarly, or professional development innovations harbor relevant, cutting-edge, and unique opportunities in our community college environments? What opportunities and challenges do we face in our endeavor to harbor innovations in our discipline, on our campuses, and in our communities? We are excited to discuss, deliberate, and learn how our innovations will inform us about the potential paths we have to move forward.
The Community College Interest Group at ECA utilizes Attendee Interactive for all submissions and blind-reviews. Upload your submission (completed paper, panel, and round table discussion) at the following site: https://ww4.aievolution.com/eca2301/
