[Jon Carter]

I am sending this on behalf of Naette Lee, the program planner for KBS at
NCA.

*Call for Submissions: Kenneth Burke Society Interest Group*

The National Communication Association’s 107th Annual Convention

“Renewal and Transformation”

November 18-21, 2021 Seattle, WA

*Submission Deadline: Thursday 8 April 2021 11:59 PM PDT*



The Kenneth Burke Society Interest Group is seeking submissions for the
2021 NCA Annual Convention. The Kenneth Burke Society seeks to promote
research in the theory and application of Burkean scholarship; submissions
to this division should directly engage the works of Kenneth Burke.

Papers and panels that engage with the 2021 convention theme, "Renewal and
Transformation" will be given special consideration. The Kenneth Burke
Society is particularly interested in promoting scholarship beyond the
white, male, cis, etc. centered scholarship that has often defined Burke
Studies. Therefore, submissions that connect Burkean scholarship to other
scholarly traditions and NCA divisions are particularly welcome.

The Kenneth Burke Society Interest Group will accept the following
submission types: Individual Papers, Paper Sessions, and Panel Discussions.
All submissions must be made via NCA Convention Central. Both Paper
Sessions and Panel Discussions should include individuals representing
multiple institutions rather than individuals from a single or couple of
institution(s). Further, a single person should not serve more than one
role on a session (i.e., chair, respondent, or presenter). Emailed or
mailed submissions will *not* be accepted. For a definition of submission
types, please refer to the step-by-step “How to Submit” Instructions
provided in the Convention Resource Library (
www.natcom.org/conventionresources).

paper description, keywords, and author information in the appropriate
sections of the electronic submission form*. *Submissions must include a
30-page maximum, double-spaced copy of the paper. Copies must be uploaded
into NCA Convention Central and must not include identifying information.
Instructions on how to prepare an anonymous copy are provided in the
Convention Resource Library. Recognition for the Top Paper will be awarded.
Student papers must be clearly marked "student" to be considered for Top
Student Paper.
