The Conference Program has been posted for your review.
 

Dawn O. Braithwaite, the Willa Cather Professor and Director of Graduate Studies in the Communication Studies Department at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln, delivered the keynote address.

The theme of this year’s NJCA conference was intended to embody the breadth of the field of communication and the depth of its association with collaboration. For example, papers presented at this conference dealt with the way in which collaboration is fostered by communication such as through team work; collaboration separated by time and space such as theory building; and the value of collaboration for personal gain such as networking. The conference presentations moved past these straightforward conceptions of collaboration to also discuss critiques of collaboration such as problems associated with the democratic process; the role of collaboration in categorization such as the perpetuation of stereotypes; and the role of collaboration in the production of identity, relationships, and realities such as is argued by a constitutive perspective. Moreover, the conference presentations dealt with collaboration on the level of societal benefit or detriment.
