16^th Annual Conference

Monmouth University

April 14, 2012 

The New Jersey Communication Association invites complete papers, media presentations, and panel proposals from students, scholars, and practitioners related to the conference theme "Communication in Action: Opening Doors to Create Change".  In a year marked by political, economic, social, and cultural upheaval, this year’s conference will explore the role of communication as a catalyst for change. We welcome general scholarship and practical applications related to a broad range of issues and methodological and theoretical approaches.  The NJCA annual conference provides teachers, scholars, students, administrators, and communication professionals a forum to exchange ideas, information and research.

Submissions may include extended abstracts of works in progress, full-length papers of 25 pages or less, panels, workshop ideas or other collaborative opportunities. We strongly encourage the participation and contribution of students at both the undergraduate and graduate level. An award for the best student paper at each level will be presented at the conference.

 *Please include the following information in your e-mail and on the front page of your submission: name(s) of presenters, title of paper/panel, abstract, student status if relevant (graduate or undergraduate), school affiliation and department, address, phone number and email.
