Boston University, May 26, 2011
Call for Abstracts
 
Sponsoring Division: Political Communication
Aims: The preconference goals include providing guidance, feedback and professional socialization to political communication graduate students at the master's and doctoral levels, introducing graduate students to ICA and inviting them to take part in the academic discourse on political communication through ICA, and cultivating a network among young political communication scholars. To achieve these goals, the preconference will bring together a select group of graduate students working on political communication projects and provide them with the opportunity to present and discuss their projects in a constructive atmosphere. The preconference will also address common issues graduate students face, including working toward publication and building a c.v. The event will take place at the College of Communication at Boston University, on May 26, 2011.
Submission guidelines:
Graduate students working on political communication projects are invited to submit abstracts of their research projects. Studies of communication dealing with government, political media, policy, political figures, citizens, campaigns, and advocacy groups are all within the purview of the division. Abstracts that address political communication problems at all levels of analysis using a variety of theories and methods are welcome.
Abstracts should be no longer than 750 words of text (plus figures and references) that include an introduction of the theoretical or conceptual foundations of the project, research questions, methods, preliminary findings (if available), conclusions, and research significance. Abstracts will undergo review; please be sure to remove any identifying information. Projects at all stages will be considered, including research currently in the stages of data collection or analysis. Evaluation criteria will include quality of argument, methodological rigor, and importance of project to theory building in political communication.
Please submit abstracts as an attachment in PDF or Word format to ICA.gradstudent.preconf@gmail.com. Indicate whether the project is a thesis or dissertation project, specify the stage of work (e.g., writing of the research proposal, complete and defended proposal, initial data collection, advanced data collection, data analysis, final writing/defending) and include author names, institutional affiliation, regular mailing address, fax number and email address in a separate document, or as part of the main message.

The Political Communication Division 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 below. Papers containing identifying information or lacking keywords from the division list will not undergo review. The number of submissions originating from the same author is unlimited, but given limited space on the program, the division may accept only a single paper first-authored paper.
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. Finally, the division will experiment with ICA’s virtual format for 2011.
Deadline: All submissions must be completed online no later than 11p.m. EST, November 1, 2010. To avoid technical problems, early submission is strongly encouraged. To reach the conference website, go to the ICA homepage at http://www.icahdq.org and follow the link for 2010 Conference Submission.
