International Listening Association (ILA)

Call for Submissions: NCA 2013

UNIT INFORMATION

The International Listening Association (ILA) defines the listening process as receiving, constructing meaning from and responding to spoken and/or nonverbal messages within a variety of contexts: health, education, spiritual, intercultural, interpersonal, environmental, spiritual, organizational, media, political and second language acquisition. We seek paper sessions, panel discussions, and competitive papers that deal with listening skills, research, pedagogy, training and application within various contexts, but any papers, sessions, and panels dealing with any facet of listening will be accepted and reviewed. Collaborations with federal and other organizations within the Washington DC area are welcomed. Submissions examining this cross-disciplinary integration of theory and/or practice of listening will be given special consideration as well as submissions addressing the convention theme of “Connections.” Of particular interest is how effective listening skills foster “connections” by creating and maintaining effective communication within and among organizations.  
 

The ILA invites submission of competitive individual papers, paper sessions, and panel discussions having general interest to the membership of ILA and the field of listening. All submissions must be made via NCA Submission Central. Emailed or mailed submissions will not be accepted. For a definition of submission types, please refer to the step-by-step “How to Submit” Instructions provided in the Convention Library linked to the NCA Convention website: www.natcom.org/convention. 

 

All submitted papers may also be selected for the Scholar to Scholar format. The Scholar to Scholar format is designed for engaging "neighborhoods of knowledge." While posters are an acceptable format for Scholar to Scholar presentations, other interactive media can also be utilized including video, slide shows, and experiential activities. If you would like to be considered for Scholar to Scholar, please check the correct agreement box during the submission process.

I'm looking for people to split up some panel time to discuss                research-in-progress.

Thanks,

     I have just come to meet William Shelton, an artist at intercultural communication nearly a century ago.  His life caught him between his own local tribe and the new Christians in the area of the State of Washington.  If there is a place for a commentary on the listening of an intercultural star at our conference, I would like to share a little of his stories and experience with you.  Aloha, Vincenne  (vwaxwood@hotmail.com )

I was doing some research on scholarships/grants, and ran across a grant from the American Speech Language Hearing Foundation for $50,000-$75,000. The focus of the research is working with disabilities. I know your scholarship is listening, and I wasn't quite sure if anything you are potentially researching may have some sort of overlap with what they want. If not, I thought someone you know might be interested in applying for the grant.

ILA Synergist Award

 

The ILA Research Committee announces the listening research Synergist Award for 2012.  Outlined in a 2008 White Paper steered by Dr. Graham Bodie, Dr. Laura Janusik, and Dr. Tuula-Riitta Välikoski, the Synergist Award promotes the advancement of listening knowledge and research through a targeted focus. Using a deductive process, listening scholars and educators have developed a set of priorities for listening research. The priorities include four initiatives and seven research questions, as well as contextualized questions in the areas of Business, Education, Healthcare, Religion/Spirituality, and Theory/Research. Achieving these priorities will assist researchers in providing a solid foundation for future listening research in terms of future theory development. A Synergist is one who cooperates with another. Thus, the researchers granted the ILA Synergist Award will be those cooperating with international listening scholars to build listening theory. We encourage multi-author proposals as well as cross-cultural research but will accept single authored work assuming it meets relevant objectives.

 

The ILA Synergist Award was developed to encourage researchers to address one or more of the stated priorities. The researcher(s) awarded the cash prize (up to $500) will be expected to present the findings at the next ILA conference as well as permit the International Journal of Listening the first right of publication for the first manuscript stemming from this work.

 

The deadline for receipt of the award applications is end of day, Feb. 3rd, 2012.

 

For the full application and further details about the award you can visit the awards section of the ILA website (www.listen.org/Awards), click the following link http://listen.org/Resources/Documents/2012_%20ILA%20Synergist%20Award%20Application.docx, or you may directly contact Christopher Gearhart, ILA Research Chair, at cgearh1@lsu.edu or 619.817.6501. 

I am looking for Volume 1 and Volume 5 of the IJL (though it had a different name then) to make my library complete. If anyone has a copy they would be willing to send me, please contact me at gbodie@lsu.edu. I am willing to pay for shipping and handling.
