PAPER CALL:
The call for papers for the 2009 Southern Association of Agricultural
Scientists' Agricultural Communication Section has been posted. Please
visit
http://agnews.tamu.edu/saas/ and click on "Call for Papers for 2009
Meeting” <http://agnews.tamu.edu/saas/saasguidelines.pdf>.
The deadline for submissions is
OCTOBER 1.
The 2009 conference
will be Jan. 31-Feb. 3, 2009 at the Westin Peachtree Hotel in Atlanta.
The AgComm Section will have its research/professional development
meeting on Sunday and Monday of the conference.
There are two
categories for papers: research paper and professional paper.
·
Research papers
are traditional scholarly pieces, using qualitative or quantitative
methods.
·
Professional papers
are how-to pieces that inform/instruct readers on processes or programs
related to agricultural communication. These may include planning a
conference, designing a communications or information campaign, or
developing a media relations training program.
As in years past, the
SAAS AgComm Section opens its call for papers to anyone in any region.
It is a great opportunity to share your research and professional
experiences with others. Also this year, as the AgComm section has done
in recent years, we will have professional development sessions during
the meeting. We have initial contact with a reporter from CNN and hope
to have a second professional development session lined up, as well, in
addition to the research and professional papers.
POSTER CALL:
You are invited to submit a proposal for an Agricultural Communications
poster session at the 2009 Southern Association of Agricultural
Scientists (SAAS) meeting in Atlanta, Georgia January 31 -
February 3. We are seeking posters that highlight innovative ideas or
research related to agricultural communications. Please read the full
call (http://agnews.tamu.edu/saas/)
for posters for details (http://agnews.tamu.edu/saas/2009saasagcom_call-for-posters.pdf).
Poster narrative
proposals are due
November 10.
Proposals should be submitted electronically to Virginia Morgan (morgamv@aces.edu)
at Auburn University.
Please share this call
with others in your unit to make sure that as many agricultural
communicators as possible are notified of this opportunity.
Hope to see everyone
in Atlanta next year!
