This will not in any way influence the decision to accept the proposal.
3. Panel proposals should focus on a unifying theme relevant to research, theory, or teaching in communication.
4. Panel proposals may consist of a chair, paper presenters, and a respondent; however, round-table discussions, symposia, debates, performance venues, community programs, or other unique formats are also encouraged. In alternative formats, respondents may be included or omitted as appropriate.
