[KB] ECA: Kenneth Burke Interest Group

[David Blakesley]

Dear Burkelers:

Here's a call for the ECA Conference next March. --Dave

Kenneth Burke Interest Group

The Kenneth Burke Interest Group invites submissions for the *112nd Eastern
Communication Association Annual Conference* (March 24-28, 2021 in
Cambridge, MA). While all papers and panel proposals shall be considered,
those that address the conference theme (Resilience) will be particularly
welcome. Submissions may include competitive papers or panels.

ECA uses *Attendee Interactive* to manage submissions and reviews. This
will be the third year that ECA utilizes this platform and it is the same
system used by the National Communication Association. The deadline for
submissions remains the same, October 15, 2020 at 11:59 PM PST. If you have
not used it before, you will be prompted to create a new User ID and
Password to submit your work. Please find the Attendee Interactive link
here:

https://ww4.aievolution.com/eca2101/

The use of AV equipment is not recommended unless it is necessary for the
presentation of the content and you may have to provide your own equipment.
The Interest Group invites two types of submission and the specific
requirements for each type follows.

*Submission Guidelines for Completed Papers*

Papers should be written in accordance with the University of Chicago
Manual of Style or APA 6th edition (whichever is appropriate). The
following fields will be completed for individual submissions:

   - Title
   - Description (aka. Abstract) including the *Professional Responsibility
   Statement*.
   - Student Paper
   - Debut Submission
   - Special requests
   - Upload final paper or additional documents (file types accepted: Word
   or PDF).

*Submission Guidelines for Panel/Program Proposals *

Please submit panel/program proposals is one MS Word file (.doc or .docx).
Proposals should be written according to the University of Chicago Manual
of Style or APA 6th edition (whichever is appropriate). Include the
following items in all panel/program submissions:

   - Thematic Title
   - Participants (Names & Affiliations) including chair and respondent.
   Chairs should not also be designated as respondents.
   - Estimated Attendance
   - Special requests
   - Rationale
   - Upload supporting documents that include titles and abstract for each
   paper or presentation, program copy (no more than a 75-word description) as
   it should appear in the final program, and Statement of Professionalism
   (see below).

Include the following statement with submissions.

*In submitting the attached paper/panel, I/We recognize that this
submission is considered a professional responsibility. I/We agree to
present this paper/panel if it is accepted and programmed. I/We further
recognize that all who attend and present at ECA’s annual meeting must
register and pay required fees.*

ECA Statement Regarding Re-Submission from 2020 Convention

*Although we may invite some panels that were slated to take place at
ECA2020, 2021 convention will be built based on a new call for papers and a
completely new submission process that will open later this spring as is
typical.*

*Therefore**, everyone is free to submit their work previously accepted for
ECA2020 elsewhere.  We have no desire to control how you manage your own
vita. We personally see no problem with listing your acceptance at ECA and
noting that the meeting was canceled—and then listing it again if accepted
at another convention.  You should seek direction from your own Tenure &
Promotion committees/chairs/deans and/or be extremely clear so as not to
raise problematic questions.*

*****

Please notice that you can also request special scheduling due to religious
or cultural needs when submitting papers, panel proposals, etc. I will then
forward the special request to the primary program planner, Amanda
McKendree.
