CONFERENCE: Fourth Summit on Communication and Sport

In keeping with the tradition started at the third Summit, some of the best research submitted and presented at the Summit will be published in a special issue of Journal of Communication Studies. Papers will undergo blind peer review, with approximately 4-5 articles selected for publication.

All scholars currently exploring communication and sport are encouraged to submit the following:

  1. Abstracts (200-500 words) to be considered for presentation at the Summit.
  2. Full-length manuscripts (7,000-10,000 words, APA style) to be considered for both the Summit and the special issue of Journal of Communication Studies.
  3. Full-length manuscripts (7,000-10,000 words, APA format) to be considered for only Summit presentation.

Up to two submissions from the same author will be considered for review.

Submissions should be emailed in Word format to Amy Crawford at agcrawford@ysu.edu no later than October 1, 2009 (any submission with an email date stamp after October 1 will not be considered). Please indicate if you would like your piece to be considered for publication in the special issue of Journal of Communication Studies.

Presenters will be notified of presentation acceptance via email by December 1, 2009. Space will also be allotted for non-presenting attendees. Any inquiries regarding the event can be directed to Adam Earnheardt (acearnheardt@ysu.edu) or Barbara Hugenberg (bhugenbe@kent.edu). However all inquiries concerning paper submissions should be directed to Amy Crawford at agcrawford@ysu.edu.
