Call for Papers
At a time of tectonic shifts in the way individuals, societies, organisations, and the media communicate, the boundaries of what constitutes communication are being re-drawn. New forms of knowledge are demanding new practices and groups that have been previously marginalised are calling to be heard.
The theme of this year's ANZCA conference is deliberately open to broad interpretation. It not only captures the spirit of communication at the cutting edge of a rapidly changing world but also inspires us to consider the impact of such change on communities and organisations. This is a time for innovative approaches in media and communication to push the boundaries of traditional practices and ways of thinking.
ANZCA's 2011 conference will be held at the University of Waikato campus in Hamilton, Aotearoa New Zealand, from 6-8 July 2011. The University is situated on Tainui land in the heart of the Waikato region, an area with a heritage that includes strong traditions in agricultural production and innovation, and is home to the Kingitanga movement and significant Maori enterprise. The intersections of innovation and tradition, and a bi-cultural heritage, provide a complex background for discussion and debate about issues centred on the theme of "Communication on the edge: Shifting boundaries and identities".
You are warmly invited to submit a paper, abstract or panel proposal for inclusion in the ANZCA 2011 conference. Papers that reflect on the conference theme are encouraged.
Papers and abstracts should be submitted by Monday 14 February 2011, for presentation in one of the following streams. Some Stream Coordinators have developed individual calls for papers for their streams. Click on the name of the stream for further details, or email the Stream Coordinator(s) for more information:
