Phoenix AZ, USA, 24-28 May 2012
The Political Communication Division of the International Communication Association supports research and theory development at the intersection of politics and communication. The division recognizes that political communication takes place in many settings, including within, between, and among individuals, small groups, organizations, cultures, and nations. Studies of communication dealing with government, political media, policy, political figures, citizens, campaigns, and advocacy groups are all within the purview of the division. Papers that address political communication problems at all levels of analysis using a variety of theories and methods are welcome. Panel proposals that are focused on a relevant topic, but that are diverse in terms of the methodologies, theoretical standpoints or nationalities of the presenters, are encouraged.
The division accepts only full papers (no longer than 25 pages, plus figures and references) and panel proposals. Submitters must delete all identifying information before submitting a paper. Papers must also include on the cover page as well as in the electronic submission from two to five topical keywords and at least one method keyword, selected from the list available on the division website (http://www.
The division especially encourages participation from Latin America, Asia, and Africa, and will consider panel proposals using creative formats that advance division aims such as expanding participation and mentoring of student scholars. ICA is introducing one long session (2.5 hrs) per division, questions and suggestions for this session can be sent directly to the division program chair well ahead of the submission deadline.
