Borders & Breakthroughs

The Organizational and Professional Communication Interest Group invites the submission of competitive papers, panels, roundtable discussions, and innovative programming for the 2020 CSCA convention in Chicago, Illinois. The purpose of our interest group is to promote the efforts of researchers, teacher/scholars, and practitioners as they relate to the study and practice of human communication in organizational and professional contexts. Thus, any such topic related to organizational and professional communication is welcomed. 

We especially encourage submissions that relate to the convention theme, Borders & Breakthroughs. The focus should be placed on the spirit of the theme, rather than simply including the words in titles. I encourage you to both question and think beyond the borders that often limit our interactions in organizations.  Consider borders such as subject areas, research agendas and methods, and which borders need to be challenged.  What innovative concepts, inspiring teaching perspectives might we celebrate and extend as breakthroughs?

Papers and panels from both established and new scholars that celebrate strong scholarship and suggest new directions for research, application, and teaching are encouraged. Faculty, students, independent scholars and community members are all urged to submit to and attend the convention.  Submissions inclusive of all methodological perspectives in the communication discipline are expected and embraced. 

Planners are interested in all types of formats, including traditional paper panels, roundtable discussions, and working research and mentoring sessions. In terms of panels, preference will be given to those with panelists representing multiple institutions rather than representing a single institution. We are especially interested in submission formats that draw the audience into conversation about the theme and its relation to the study and practice of organizational communication.
