Robert Glenn, Owensboro Community & Technical College

During the past decade, cell phone technology has exploded upon the scene and moved from a convenient luxury to an essential necessity within our collective conscience. Cell phones are viewed as an essential lifeline without which life would appear to be impossible. However, this town hall debate will provide a balanced perspective concerning the short and long-term advantages and devastating disadvantages of cell phone use. All four participants have extensive backgrounds in collegiate debate and the debate will follow a parliamentary debate format which will center upon civility, humor, and audience participation.

“Steroids, Science and the Power of Testing”

Ron Von Burg, Christopher Newport University and Paul Johnson, Wake Forest University

Any causal examination of the popular sports talk arena, be it on radio, television, or the newspaper, reveals that the sports community is riddled with controversy and disagreement. However, these discussions are rarely exclusive to the world of sports. Rather, these debates are often microcosms of larger issues found in the broader American cultural landscape. This panel explores how the sports world functions as a site for interlocutors to engage complex social issues and hone one’s argumentative skills. To that end, these papers examine how debates over representations of race, gender, and science play out in the sports world and how such debates are reflective of the broader social sphere.

In this digital age, communication scholars often debate the merits of needing to study the scholarship of ancient/classical rhetoric. Due to these debates a disconnect exist between the messages of ancient/classical rhetoric and their applicability to today’s modern age. Thus, this panel is comprised of critical papers that examine important ancient/classical rhetorical messages and attempts to reconnect the modern communication community to its ancient/classical roots. Each paper provides a unique ancient/classical message, concept, text that needs to be examined as the modern communication community cannot provide answers to them. Therefore, these papers are designed to examine questions, concepts and messages from the past that are still suitable for examination today. Therefore, in order to settle the debate over the need to study ancient/classical rhetoric this panel uses its different texts to reconnect the community to its roots.

FREEDOM OF EXPRESSION IN SOCIAL MOVEMENTS OF THE 1960S: LESSONS FROM LOUISVILLE

“’Use Every Attack as a Platform to Fight Back’: Anne Braden’s Activist Journalism in the Southern Civil Rights Movement”

Catherine Fosl, University of Louisville

RESPONDENT: DR. J. BLAINE HUDSON, DEAN, COLLEGE OF ARTS & SCIENCES, UNIVERSITY OF LOUISVILLE

This panel will examine the hampering of free expression during this period that rained on several Louisvillians and their strategies for resistance. Louisville-based activists Carl and Anne Braden worked all around the South during the 1950s and sixties recruiting white allies to the civil rights movement, but they were marginalized as “communistic” by southern image-makers, arrested several times, and barred from some southern communities. One form of their resistance was a creative use of the tools of newspaper journalism. Another was a First-Amendment legal challenge that made its way to the U.S. Supreme Court in 1961 in Braden v. United States of America. A historian of journalism, a communication law scholar, and a civil rights/civil liberties attorney will discuss the Bradens’ campaign for free expression during this era and their implications for social movements in the ensuing decades. The respondent, a Pan-African Studies scholar, will contextualize the Bradens’ experiences in relation to a different form of free-speech challenge that emerged in this era from another Louisvillian, heavyweight boxing champion Muhammad Ali, who was heavily censured after his public refusal of the draft.

A tour of the newly established Anne Braden Institute for Social Justice Research, featuring an exhibit of journalistic materials from Anne Braden’s activism will conclude our session.

The Role of State Communication Associations in the Digital Age: Exploring the Kentucky Communication Association as a Case Study

SPONSOR: THE KENTUCKY COMMUNICATION ASSOCIATION AND THE SSCA VICE PRESIDENT

CHAIR: CRAIG ALLEN SMITH, NORTH CAROLINA STATE UNIVERSITY

PANELISTS:

Derek R. Lane, University of Kentucky

Tom Sabetta, Jefferson Community and Technical College

Carl Kell, Western Kentucky University

 State associations within the southern region are of value to SSCA members and serve specific needs of scholarship, graduate training, pedagogy, and networking.  The digital age has provided technological tools to facilitate relationship building and create a genuine sense of community within state associations.  The panel begins with a brief history of the Kentucky Communication Association (including discussions of the relationship between KCA and SSCA—from the first SSCA meeting in Berea, Kentucky in 1933 to the present day’s meeting in Louisville in 2006).  Next, we discuss how relationships and communities within state associations are built using technologies to facilitate networking (Administrative and Membership Blogs) and the sharing of resources (state association websites, digital databases of pedagogically sound communication exercises, state journals).  We address how technology can enhance our collective voice to make a difference in the policies and decisions that affect our campuses statewide.  Finally, we recognize outstanding communication scholarship by spotlighting one of the outstanding presentations from the 75^th Anniversary KCA Convention that is of potential interest to SSCA scholars and serves to illustrate why our state associations need to become more active in SSCA.  The digital age has improved the ability of state associations to provide networking opportunities, demonstrate instructional strategies to help improve communication pedagogy, and recognize outstanding communication scholarship. The panel concludes with a call for state associations to become more active in the Southern States Communication Association.

As an increasingly high number of students enroll as majors in public relations and then graduate to enter the field as trained communicators, it is important to analyze the role media images play in their selection of public relations as a field of study, as well as, what they perceive the public relations practice will entail upon completing their degrees. This panel seeks to explore the impression public relations students, both entering and graduating from their undergraduate degree programs, have of the profession. A deeper awareness of the student perspective will enable educators to strengthen the public relations curriculum by better understanding what attracts students to this field and then working with our students to help them discern true roles of communication specialists by separating fact from fiction by realistic interpretations of mediated reality. Finally, this study will give insight and facilitate gauging the students’ understanding of public relations and the communication careers they have chosen. The panelists represent both relatively new and veteran professors who have been engaged in a variety of research projects on related topics. The panelists, furthermore, were selected to represent a variety of student populations within the region.

HANG IT OUT TO DRY: KATRINA’S SPUN TALES

SPONSOR: PERFORMANCE STUDIES DIVISION

MODERATOR: TRACY STEPHENSON SHAFFER, LOUISIANA STATE UNIVERSITY

PERFORMER: DANIELLE SEARS VIGNES, LOUISIANA STATE UNIVERSITY

“Hang It Out To Dry” explores the aftermath of Katrina’s wrath in Saint Bernard Parish. In a one-person show, conceived and performed by Danielle Sears Vignes, a doctoral candidate in the Department of Communication Studies at LSU, collected narratives and community stories are shared.

“Hang It Out To Dry” is the finale’ to a three-part cycle of performed narratives of Saint Bernard residents collected by Vignes for almost a decade. Passionate about the parish in which she was born and raised, Vignes has devoted her talents and energies to preserving and celebrating this unique culture’s way of life. Her first performance “Chalmette: A Promised Land” was a light-hearted celebration that focused on the neighborhood gossip, jokes, and superstitions of the community. “A Tribute to Storytellers: Isleno Decima Singers of Louisiana” traced a local art form within the Spanish traditions of the region.

One year ago, Hurricane Katrina devastated Saint Bernard Parish, and Vignes’ project took on an importance even she could not have anticipated. “Hang It Out To Dry” begins to try to preserve those stories told by a displaced community, stories of loss and hope at a time when neighborhoods and art forms must be reimagined.

Vignes’ performances have been the centerpieces of performance festivals across the United States. “Hang It Out To Dry” is a collage of experience which will hopefully be a starting point for conversations about community before, during, and after disaster.

Victoria J. Gallagher and Kenneth S. Zagacki, North Carolina State University

Advances in communication technology have resulted in new and more accessible means of creating and distributing visual images and artifacts. At the same time, the last 20 years have witnessed and increase in memorial building and other types of public artwork projects, from murals (in Philadelphia) to sculptures (the Monument to Joe Louis aka “the Fist” in Detroit) to the creation of public parks with significant sculptures (Millennium Park in Chicago). Scholars in rhetoric and in communication have begun to analyze the discourses surrounding public art in public spaces as well as some of the artifacts themselves but there has been little, if any, attempt to engage in conversation across approaches or, for that matter, to engage in comparative analysis from multiple perspectives. This panel provides a means for examining the possibility of intersections between visual communication and visual rhetoric research as well as exploring the challenges these two research areas or approaches pose for one another. Panelists will present 10 minute case studies or position papers and then will lead the audience in synthesizing and critiquing the papers. Ultimately we wish to assess the problems and potentialities of these two areas of scholarship in regard to public art in a digital age.

WORKSHOP 2: WORKSHOP ON WORKSHOPS: INCORPORATING ORAL COMMUNICATION IN THE CLASSROOM – Session 1

SPONSOR: VICE PRESIDENT

CHAIR: KATHLEEN J. TURNER, DAVIDSON COLLEGE

PRESENTER: KATHLEEN J. TURNER, DAVIDSON COLLEGE

Research consistently shows that students who are better communicators are better students, and people who are better communicators are more effective in both their professional and their personal lives. Workshops provide an effective, efficient way to help people across the institution understand the value of effective communication, and also offer specific ideas for improvement. In the process, key constituencies gain valuable insight into the centrality of communication in the educational process.

This session provides a “meta-workshop”: a workshop on giving a workshop for faculty. The session will explain why such workshops are valuable, and then show participants how such a workshop might be structured and conducted. The focus is on small, medium, and large ways to incorporate oral communication into the classroom—from creative ways to call the roll to thirty-minute presentations.

This roundtable examines the communicative responses of three groups to the crisis: two churches that served as informal community relief centers and one ad hoc group of neighbors who pooled their resources to cope with the aftermath of the disaster. Due to the University’s location, the investigators had direct access to ordinary citizens who had experienced the storm. Their narratives open a window onto the problems of conducting Relationships and carrying on Communities in a Digital Age under the most severe conditions.

Louisville, Kentucky is the birth place of boxing legend Muhammad Ali. Recently a museum was opened in honor of the boxing legend who not only gave personality and controversy to the sport of boxing but also worked for civil rights in the U.S. and abroad. This panel will ask and discuss the questions: In what ways did Muhammad Ali rhetorically represent himself to various audiences and how did these representations play on or alter existing social constructions of race?" "Who were these audiences and how did they respond?" "Why were Ali's public remarks so controversial, especially among white Americans?" "In what other ways (literature, painting, sculpture, digital media, etc.) has Ali and/or his accomplishments been represented in the public space?" "In what manner did Ali - or other public representatives -- link Ali to or appropriate him for the civil rights/black power movements?" Each of the panelists is a scholar on sport rhetoric and/or the rhetoric of civil rights. They will present a short position paper after which discussion will take place.

From this perspective, it could be argued that the connections made by the students engaged in their service learning experiences, created relationships built upon respect, discipline, trust, participation, cooperation, responsibility – all required elements for building and maintaining healthy communities.

"Using Service Learning Projects to Teach Copyright Issues"

Janet Rice McCoy, Morehead State University

Plagiarism is a slippery slope within the field of public relations. Practitioners are frequently given materials by their clients that need to be revised and rework. Consequently, service learning writing projects with community partners provide an ideal opportunity for students to learn about plagiarism. The professor can challenge the students to explore copyright issues as they work with client-provided graphics and background information.

"Cutting and Pasting: It Isn't Just Students"

Michael T. McGill, The University of Virginia's College at Wise

The digital age has made student plagiarism as simple as "cut and paste." But the students aren't alone. College administrators and faculty members are also engaging in plagiarism. This presentation describes several recent incidents of administrative and faculty plagiarism with a discussion of potential legal and ethical consequences of that activity.

“Political Domination through News: Hugo Chavez and His TeleSur Station”

David T. Tarvin, Morehead State University

With the advent of new communication technologies and the ability to get messages to large numbers of people quickly, political relationships between candidates/parties and the populace take on new roles. This panel will examine three international political scenarios and the role of modern technology used to create a positive relationship with the citizens of these nations. First, a look at the gay mayor of Berlin, Germany, in his race for reelection as well as in the groundwork for a possible run for the office of German Chancellor in 2008 as the Social Democratic candidate. The second paper will present an examination of the use of modern technology in the Québec Separatist Movement. In this French culture, messages of the mainstream media are controlled by organizations that are not attuned to the goals of many of the Québec Separatists. Therefore, they turn to new technologies to foster their relationship with the citizens of Québec. The third paper will look at Hugo Chavez’s rise to power and the use of his government owned television station, TeleSur, to propel him to power in Venezuela. Each of the authors will analyze as aspect of the political messages sent by the new technologies as studied in the original language. As globalization increases in the world, scholars of all disciplines need to be more aware of international topics and issues.

“Participative Decision Making: Building Community by Making Theory Reality”

Joy L. Hart, University of Louisville

DISCUSSANT:  MICHAEL S. WALTMAN, UNIVERSITY OF NORTH CAROLINA, CHAPEL HILL

This panel addresses the convention theme of building community and the division interest in teaching communication theory.  Each of the panelists has been teaching communication theory for a number of years and has had successful classroom experiences doing so.  In particular, the panel focuses on undergraduate communication theory courses as these are likely the most commonly taught across institutions; however, some of the discussion can be applied to graduate communication theory courses as well.  We will address both face-to-face and online courses and methods of building community in each environment (e.g., similarities and differences).

Communication theory can be a difficult course to teach and one that students dread.  In part, this dread may arise from a lecture orientation, little chance to interact with other students, and disjoints between theories covered.  This panel attempts to address such issues by arguing for building community in the classroom and addressing several specific means of accomplishing this goal.

Joy Palmer, Michigan State University

This panel proposes a series of talks and interactions that address the recent explosion in parenting blogs, and specifically the exponential rise of the “MommyBlogger” over the last few years.  As the phenomenon of mommyblogging continues to escalate, so too does the need for critical analyses of these communities.  These analyses must move beyond value-laden questions over the authorial or social “merit” of mommyblogging, and interrogate the rhetorical work mommybloggers do to construct and maintain their communities of practice, and to be “online citizens” within these communities.

Anticipated focal points include student learning, student engagement, course delivery, instructor creativity, and information design.

THE CONUNDRUM OF FREE SPEECH PROTECTION FOR CITIZEN JOURNALISTS COMPARED TO TRADITIONAL JOURNALISTS

PANELISTS:

Linda T. Bond, Stephen F. Austin State University

Darrell Roe, East Texas Baptist University

Wanda Mouton, Stephen F. Austin State University

Kris Wuensche, Texas A&M University

Representatives of top journalism schools, heads of news services such as the Associated Press and journalists are increasingly discussing theory and practice about guarantees of freedom for the press. As electronic media continues to blur the line, do members of the media stand on the same ground as private citizens in reporting the media? Recognizing that journalists have no means of accredited, professional status, should those consider non-journalists have the same First Amendment rights and protections as traditional journalists?

 
Panelists will present results from studies indicating how members of the news media feel about First Amendment protections for so-called citizen journalists, which will be compared to results from studies indicating how bloggers and others categorized as citizen journalists feel about First Amendment issues related to themselves and to the mainstream media.
