The Public Dialogue and Deliberation division (PDDD, or PD3) is a vibrant and growing community of scholars, teachers, and practitioners who research, conceptualize, and facilitate public dialogue and deliberation, to support democratic engagement and social justice. We invite your contributions for the 110th NCA convention to be held in New Orleans, Louisiana, from November 21-24, 2024. We welcome contributions that engage meaningfully with the 2024 NCA convention theme of “Communication for Greater Regard,” and that demonstrate the rich potentials for public dialogue and deliberation scholarship, teaching, and practice to contribute to our understandings of what we hold in regard as a society and how we do so. NCA Second Vice President Dr. Jeanetta D. Sims encourages us to engage the three-fold nature of our collective, magnificent stewardship of communication for greater regard: (1) greater regard for what has been before us, (2) greater regard for what is presently around us, and (3) greater regard for what will be beyond us. She also encourages us to address some of the following questions in our submissions:
Our division has much to contribute to these conversations. We invite you to think creatively about designing panels and presentations that are inclusive of marginalized and underrepresented voices, that maximize participation, and that incorporate dialogic and/or deliberative principles into the conference experience. We especially encourage submissions from students. We also highly encourage PD3 members to submit ideas for cross-divisional panels and other events (such as Short Courses, Pre-conferences, Great Ideas for Teaching Students, Research in Progress Roundtables, and the Convention Theme call) that can occur outside of the PD3's allotted programming slots. Please contact the program planner (see below for contact information) with ideas for Short Courses and Pre-conferences. To ensure their success, proposals for these events should be developed and submitted with sufficient time to identify others interested in collaborating. Submissions must be made through NCA Convention Central by Friday, April 5, 2024 at 11:59 p.m. Pacific Time. The Public Dialogue and Deliberation Division accepts three formats for submissions: (1) Individual Papers; (2) Innovations in Practice Extended Abstracts; and (3) Panel Discussions. We welcome submissions that use any of a wide range of research methods - qualitative, social scientific, or rhetorical. We also welcome work that connects scholars, students, and community partners. For a general definition of submission types, please refer to the step-by-step “How to Submit” Instructions provided in the NCA Convention Resource Library. All submissions should include a title, description, author(s) information, keywords and AV requests. Complete student submissions (including an Individual Paper OR an Innovations in Practice Extended Abstract) will be considered for a Top Student Paper award. This honor includes a monetary award of $100 and the designation as a Top Student Paper in the division’s 2024 convention program. Please see specifications below for each of the different types of possible PD3 submissions: INDIVIDUAL PAPERS An individual paper is a full manuscript, submitted directly by an author or authors, which is reviewed individually and, if accepted, grouped into sessions by the program planner. Paper submissions should typically be no longer than 30 pages (including tables, images, and figures, but excluding title page, abstract, and references). All papers must be double-spaced, using 12-point, Times New Roman font, and 1-inch margins. A copy must be uploaded into NCA Convention Central as an Individual Paper and must not include any identifying information. Instructions on how to prepare an anonymous copy are provided in the Convention Library. Criteria by which competitive individual papers will be evaluated include the paper’s theoretical and/or practical contribution; importance (e.g., significance, timeliness, novelty) of the topic or issue; appeal to division members; and writing quality and coherence. Student authors: Please indicate on the title page and in the relevant check box on NCA Convention Central if the paper is student authored. (Please note that this designation means that all authors are students.) Student submissions are eligible to be considered for Top Student Paper awards. Audio/Visual Requests: Please indicate in the relevant check box any audio-visual needs at the time of submission. Late requests cannot be accommodated. Scholar-to-Scholar: Please indicate on NCA Convention Central if you are willing for your paper to be considered for a Scholar-to-Scholar session. Scholar-to-Scholar sessions are interactive, with media formats such as posters, laptop displays, and other experiential activities. Scholar-to-Scholar submissions will be reviewed by the Division as a competitive paper but presented during a Scholar-to-Scholar session. Following our commitment to fostering interactive opportunities that strive to enact the ideals of dialogue and deliberation, our 2024 sessions will feature high-density sessions involving short (5-7 minute) engaging presentations followed by a substantial period of moderated discussion among presenters and session attendees. For PD3 sessions, the moderator replaces the traditional conference role of a respondent, with the goal of fostering dialogic and deliberative engagement with the presentation ideas among all session attendees. INNOVATIONS IN PRACTICE EXTENDED ABSTRACTS Submissions of Innovations in Practice should highlight and detail an innovation related to design, pedagogy, facilitation, or assessment that advances our understanding of the practical aspects of public dialogue or deliberation. These innovations can be situated in spaces such as classrooms, public meetings, college campuses or schools, or other contexts in which public dialogue or deliberation takes place. Submissions are typically no longer than 10 to 15 pages and must indicate “Innovations in Practice” on the first page of the submission. All papers must be double-spaced, using 12-point, Times New Roman font, and 1-inch margins. Files must be uploaded into NCA Convention Central as Extended Abstracts and must not include identifying information. Instructions on how to prepare an anonymous copy are provided in the Convention Library. PANEL DISCUSSIONS A panel discussion is a preconceived, complete session in which a panel of presenters addresses a particular issue, often in a conversational style, but without individually titled presentations. Panel discussions are reviewed as a whole. Submitters should include participants from differing institutions and are highly encouraged to include cross-disciplinary and diverse perspectives to maximize opportunities for discussion and dialogue. Submissions must include:
