COPS in Prague

Congratulations to all the COPS members whose papers were accepted for presentation at the 2018 meeting of the International Communication Association (ICA) in Prague, Czech Republic. The overall acceptance rate for ICA was about 37%, so these accepted papers are an important accomplishment. Below I've posted all of the papers by COPS members in the Pol Comm division or that are otherwise explicitly related to political communication, but I know some of our members have also had papers accepted in other divisions and/or on non-political topics. (And, if I haven't listed your paper, drop me a note and I'll update this post.) Congrats to all, and see you in Prague in late May!

Socialization to Conferences for Political Communication

Next Tuesday's COPS meeting (12-1pm on Jan. 16th in 3136 Derby Hall) will be a discussion of academic and professional conferences and their divisions from the perspective of scholars in political communication. We'll talk both Communication and Political Science conferences, submission deadlines and formats (paper vs. abstract), divisions (when relevant), acceptance rates, and more. We'll talk not only about choosing a conference, but also what it's like and what to do when you're there. I expect that there will be differences in opinion about the relative value of various conferences, and the best strategies for submission and participation. So, come with questions and those of us with experience will spend an hour giving you an insiders view of conferences. Then, you can draw your own conclusions!
