(Re)Collection, (Re)Cognition, (R)Evolution
The Ohio Communication Association (OCA) invites paper and panel submissions for the 75th annual conference, Friday, September 30 and Saturday, October 1, 2011. The conference will be hosted by University of Findlay and the theme for this year conference is: (Re)Collection, (Re)Cognition, (R)Evolution.
The 2011 Ohio Communication Conference will recollect our past scholarship, recognize our current endeavors, and seek a revolution of scholastic commitment into the future. We invite you to celebrate the Ohio Communication Association’s legacy of scholarship, pedagogy, and service in the discipline of Communication Studies by considering the following questions: Have you worked with any noteworthy scholars from Ohio that have made significant impacts in the field? Do you see Ohio communication scholarship represented in the current state of the field? Are you currently pursuing an innovative research agenda that could shape the course of Ohio Communication Studies? If so, we would like to invite your contributions to the conference program.
Moreover, if you have colleagues and co-authors who would be interested in joining you for your presentation (and us for the entire conference), we would welcome their participation in this year’s conference. This would be a great opportunity for you to show those outside the field just how much good work is going on in Communication Studies at the undergraduate, graduate, and professional levels. We look forward to seeing you - and your entourage - at the University of Findlay in Findlay Ohio, which is 45 minutes south of Toledo with easy access via I-75or U.S. routes 23 or 30.
