CSCA 2022 - Call for Submissions for the Women’s Caucus!

We are just one month away from the CSCA deadline, see the call below for specifics on submitting to this caucus! Consider this your friendly reminder to submit to the Women’s Caucus if you have not already. Additionally, I am looking for folks willing to serve the committee as a chair, reviewer, and/or respondents. I wrote up names and emails of folks who volunteered at the business meeting last year in a google spreadsheet, if you could review the information about you and update, or add your name and note what you would be willing to do, that would be wonderful (https://tinyurl.com/b6ee9dpj


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

The CSCA Women’s Caucus invites submissions of competitive papers and panel proposals examining the role of gender in communication studies. Our caucus has a long history of community engagement and activism, and we welcome submissions that address the intersection of civic concerns and how they impact women’s lives. We welcome a range of topics and we especially encourage members to address issues related to the convention theme Re-Connect. It is time (hopefully) to come together in person after our two years of very different conference circumstances. We made it through together through many challenges—let’s celebrate together! 

The Women’s Caucus is dedicated to the exploration of multiple feminisms and the ways in which intersectionality shape identity and difference. Feminist scholarship that intersects with issues of race, class, sexuality, age, and ability are strongly encouraged. Topics of interest include women’s roles/challenges in professional organizations, interpersonal relationships, the political arena, popular culture, women and freedom of expression, and men and masculinities as they relate to the framing and relations with women.

In terms of panels, preference will be given to those with panelists representing multiple institutions rather than representing a single institution. Co-sponsorship between other CSCA divisions and interest groups is strongly encouraged.

We strongly encourage undergraduate and graduate student papers. Graduate and undergraduate students should type “STUDENT” on the upper right-hand corner of the title page. If the paper will be a student debut, please type “DEBUT STUDENT” on the upper right-hand corner of the title page and note if the author is a graduate or undergraduate student. To be considered for the association’s debut paper award, (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. On all submissions, indicate if author(s) are CSCA members. 

Awards: The Women’s Caucus issues a Top Paper and Top Student Paper award, both of which come with a $50 reward.
