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.<br>
<br>
Papers and panels that engage with the 2021 convention theme, "<span style="background-image:initial;background-position:initial;background-size:initial;background-repeat:initial;background-origin:initial;background-clip:initial">Renewal and Transformation</span>" 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. <br>
<br>
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 <b>not</b> 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 (</span><a href="http://www.natcom.org/conventionresources" style="color:rgb(5,99,193)"><span style="font-family:Garamond,serif">www.natcom.org/conventionresources</span></a><span style="font-family:Garamond,serif">).</span></p>
