The American Society for the History of Rhetoric (ASHR) Interest Group of the Southern States Communication Association (SSCA) invites submissions for the 2018 convention in Nashville, Tennessee. While we always welcome submissions concerning the history of rhetoric broadly, for the 2018 convention we especially encourage work relating to 1) the robust history of the city of Nashville and the state of Tennessee, 2) the role of rhetoric, race, and religion 3) the rhetoric of the Civil Rights movement—especially work commemorating the 50th year anniversary of the death of Martin Luther King, and 4) the conference theme “Muses and Musings in the Music City.” While working from the convention theme, the interest group also encourages work that frames examinations in the history of rhetoric as resources for envisioning the future(s) of the fields of rhetoric and communication studies. For instance, Nashville is home of Andrew Jackson’s Hermitage; thus, we welcome rhetorical work on Jackson and its possible contemporary manifestations.

More broadly, the ASHR Interest Group is interested in work that enhances the theory and practice of rhetoric in all periods and languages. We invite submissions in the form of completed papers, as well as proposals for thematic panels, roundtables, or non-traditional panel formats. Please note that we strongly encourage panel submissions to contain participants from two or more different institutions.

Completed paper submissions should include two files: 1) a cover page file containing the paper title, and the author’s name, affiliation, and contact information and 2) a file containing the completed paper with an abstract of no more than 100 words on the first page. Note: Please be sure to remove any author identification from the completed paper file. If the author is a student or if this is the author’s first conference submission, please include the designation “STUDENT” or “DEBUT” on the cover page. Panel submissions should be sent as a single file containing the following materials: 1) panel title, as it should appear in the program book; 2) a panel abstract of no more than 50 words; 3) a list of all participants with affiliation and contact information; 4) a panel justification not to exceed 200 words; and 5) individual titles and abstracts for each presenter’s paper (or equivalent for other panel formats) to a maximum of 100 words each.

Audio-visual resources must be requested with the paper or panel proposal along with a clear justification for why AV would be necessary. SSCA has limited audio-visual resources so please limit requests only to necessary cases. The ASHR Interest Group will designate awards for the top student paper and the top faculty paper from the complete paper submissions. All materials must be submitted via electronic mail by Friday, September 8, 2017 to Andre E. Johnson, PhD, [email protected]. Please indicate your e-mail subject line as “ASHR-SSCA” for clarity. Preferred file formats include Adobe Acrobat (.pdf) or Microsoft Word (.doc/.docx). All submissions will receive a reply email confirming receipt of the submission within 48 hours
