CFP: The Joint Journalism and Communication Historian's Conference

Hello everyone, apologies for cross-posting, but see the announcement for
this year's JJCHC mini-conference at NYU below. It is a great venue for
work in progress, as well as a welcoming space for graduate students.

We take an expansive view of media history, very much welcome submissions
that deal with theory and critical perspectives.

*Mark your calendars for #JJCHC2020*

The Joint Journalism and Communication History Conference (JJCHC),
co-sponsored by the American Journalism Historians Association and the
History Division of the Association for Education in Journalism and Mass
Communication, is now accepting submissions for the 2020 conference.

This one-day interdisciplinary conference welcomes scholars and graduate
students with an interest in journalism or communication history.
Innovative research and ideas from all areas of journalism and
communication history and from all time periods are welcome. This
conference offers participants the chance to explore new ideas, garner
feedback on their work, and meet colleagues from around the world
interested in journalism and communication history in a welcoming
environment.

*When: *Saturday, March 14, 2020, 8:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m.
*Where: *Arthur L. Carter Journalism Institute, New York University, 20
Cooper Square, 6th Floor, New York, NY
*Cost: *$55 online by March 1 and $65 online afterward (includes
continental breakfast and lunch)

Research, research-in-progress, panels, and workshop proposals are all
welcome. Your proposal should detail your presentation topic and offer a
compelling rationale as to why your research would interest an
interdisciplinary community of scholars.


   - *Papers* are completed research studies, and should be attached to the
   submission, along with a 500 word abstract.
   - *Research-in-progress* are projects that are currently underway, and
   which would benefit from collegial feedback in a conference setting. The
   JJCHC eagerly welcomes this kind of work and prides itself as a forum
   for generative thinking and feedback. To submit an RIP, include a 500-word
   abstract of the work in the submission form.
   - *Panels* are pre-constituted presentations around a single topic. To
   submit a panel, include a 500-word rationale overview, along with separate
   abstracts for individual presentations.
   - *Workshops* This year, JJCHC is inviting workshop submissions
   (previously known as '10 in a Den’). These round-table meetings are
   designed to foster intimate conversation among peers working with similar
   theories, ideas, or methods, or in related subject areas. These are also
   useful opportunities to work toward a collaborative project, such as
   journal special issues or proposals for edited collections. Scholars are
   encouraged to propose meetings of any time length during the conference day
   with up to twelve participants. To submit a workshop, include a 500 word
   abstract and rationale and a list of possible participants.

<https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=jjchc2019>. Presenters must create
an account through Easy Chair in order to submit work. More information
