Central States Communication Association (CSCA)
2022 Annual Convention – Madison, Wisconsin
March 30-April 3, 2022
Re-Connect

The Sexual Orientation & Gender Identity (SOGI) Caucus invites submissions of competitive papers and panel proposals for the 2022 Central States Communication Association (CSCA) convention in Madison, Wisconsin.

The purpose of the SOGI Caucus is to promote dialogue and scholarship on engaging issues related to sexual orientation and gender identity in the communication discipline. The caucus is interdisciplinary in nature, and a range of topics are welcome, including rhetorical, interpersonal, organization, inter/cultural, performance, auto/ethnographic, media, and/or critical scholarship. We encourage, but do not require, members to address issues related to the convention theme, Re-Connect.

Please consider following the SOGI Caucus Facebook page to connect with other scholars and ask for help, share resources, or start conversations. We especially encourage graduate and undergraduate students to submit their papers and panel ideas so we can work together to create an outstanding program. Please see the details below for submitting your work to the SOGI Caucus.

• Papers: Only completed papers will be accepted. Papers must include a title and a brief abstract. Graduate students should type “STUDENT” in the upper right corner of the title page. If the paper will be a graduate student debut, please type “DEBUT STUDENT” in the upper right corner of the title page. To be considered a graduate student debut paper, (1) the author must be a graduate student, (2) the paper must have single authorship, and (3) the paper must be the author’s first paper to be presented at CSCA.
