The 2012 NCA Convention Theme is “Celebrate COMMunity.” This theme provides opportunities to highlight the various intersections between traditional divisions within our broader areas of Communication Studies.

Individual papers should include an abstract and are limited to 25 double-spaced pages, excluding notes. Only completed papers will be considered. Individual papers should not contain any identifying information (author name, university affiliation). Unless otherwise requested, the planners will consider all competitive papers for NCA’s “scholar-to-scholar” interactive sessions. If you would like to be considered for Scholar to Scholar, please check the appropriate agreement box on the electronic form. The same paper may not be submitted to more than one division. Submit only one first-author paper, session or panel per NCA unit (division or affiliated organization).

Student papers should be clearly marked to be eligible for the RCA Student Paper of the Year as well as the Donald P. Cushman Award for top student paper in NCA. For multi-authored works to be eligible, all authors must be students.

Paper sessions: These theme-based sessions should include a title, a list of presenters with institutional affiliations, titles and abstracts for each individual presentation. To be considered for inclusion in the convention program, multiple institutions must be represented.
