Call for Panel Proposals
AEJMC 2007 Convention in Washington, D.C. (Aug. 9-12)
Colleagues,
It was great seeing many of you in San Francisco, and I hope to see many
more of you next year. As vice head/programming chair, I invite you
to submit a panel proposal for the 2007 AEJMC Convention in Washington,
D.C. Your participation will help ensure that MAC continues its
track record of offering thought-provoking, empowering, and progressive
programming.
To maximize opportunities for co-sponsorships, I must receive your
panel proposal via e-mail by Monday, October 9. Please e-mail your
panel proposal to me at
[log in to unmask], and title the
subject line Panel Proposal. Upon receiving all panel proposals, I
will in turn collaborate with the appropriate chairs (professional
freedom and responsibility, research, teaching) to finalize MAC
submissions to AEJMC, giving particular attention to consolidating
proposals as needed to ensure that each one makes a strong and unique
pitch.
Please be sure to format your panel proposal as indicated below.
Panel proposals should focus on professional freedom and responsibility,
research, or teaching. PF&R panels should focus on issues such
as free expression, ethics, media criticism and accountability, racial,
gender and cultural inclusiveness, and public service. Research
panels should focus on issues such as methodologies/approaches,
theoretical frameworks, trends, and new developments. Teaching
panels should focus on issues such as curriculum (philosophy,
design, and examination of issues, developments and trends in the
journalism; leadership (administrative and organizational efforts
to manage and improve the evolution of journalism and mass
communication), course content and methods (examining teaching
techniques and strategies), assessment (weighing the effectiveness
of journalism education); and standards of appointment, tenure,
promotion, compensation, research, retirement, equipment and facilities
for instruction and research.
