Submission deadline: July 7, 2023

The New York State Communication Association invites proposals for the 81st annual conference scheduled for October 13-15, 2023 at the Villa Roma Resort and Conference Center, 365 Villa Roma Road, Callicoon, NY 12723.

COMMUNICATION IN THE DIGITAL WORLD

The internet and smartphone have transformed the way we communicate in profound ways. We are now moving toward normalizing new features like artificial intelligence, and virtual and augmented reality applications in day-to-day use, poised to further change our relationship with technology and with each other in the near future. We live in a digital world full of information and misinformation, character limits and fast-paced communication, influencers and followers, ceaseless scrolling and mediated interaction – but also in a world that reveals structural disparities and unequal access to digital communication platforms. The last few years, especially, have seen an accelerated transformation toward remote work and learning, changing the way we live and work, and the way we think of online and offline spaces in both personal and professional contexts. Contemporary issues we face as local, national, or even global societies have been the subject of oftentimes heated online discourse – issues like political unrest, social justice movements and activism, pandemics and public health, environmental justice, and concerns about the regulation of online platforms and privacy.

Acknowledging the impact of our transforming digital landscape and its effect on our lived experience, the 81st annual conference of the New York State Communication Association invites participants to consider how communication functions on digital platforms in intrapersonal, interpersonal, community-oriented, organizational, global, and virtual contexts. Scholars, practitioners, and students are encouraged to examine how their areas of study in communication intersect with the transformation of digital communication use and culture, with particular focus on the environmental, psychological, and social benefits and costs of the contemporary and future use of digital platforms.

We welcome submissions of completed papers, panels, roundtables, fishbowl conversations, student posters and other innovative and engaging programs. Work related to the conference theme is encouraged, along with a range of communication topics from a variety of theoretical and methodological approaches.
