CSCA 2026 Convention - Sexual Orientation & Gender Identity (SOGI) Caucus Call for Submissions Reminder

Dear SOGI Caucus members,

The Sexual Orientation & Gender Identity (SOGI) Caucus invites submissions of competitive papers and panel proposals for the 2026 Central States Communication Association (CSCA) convention in Minneapolis, April 15-18. Research that centers lesbian, gay, bisexual, queer, trans, non-binary, or gender non- conforming perspectives, orientations, and populations, and moreover, translates these findings to communities outside of the academy, is more important than ever.

Please consider submitting if you haven't already done so. We are especially interested in community collaborations. We'd like to feature a panel or more to highlight that important work. If you engage with LGBTQ+ organizations in any way, via advocacy, teaching, or research, then please reach out to the SOGI chair, Danielle Stern via email: danielle.stern@cnu.edu. 

Submissions must be received by 11:59 PM, CDT, October 10, 2025. Please submit electronically via the CSCA online submission system site.

Read the complete call on the CSCA website.

Sincerely,

Danielle Stern
