ABC Detroit Conference 2019

Research Roundtable

Call for Submissions

The ABC Research Committee invites submissions for a Research Roundtable at the ABC annual conference in Detroit, Michigan, USA, October 24-26, 2019. The Research Committee is dedicated to the advancement of research in business communication. It aims to enhance and promote research, within the discipline and beyond, by providing a center for networking and collaboration. The Committee advises the ABC Board on the Outstanding Researcher and Outstanding Dissertation Awards.

We welcome participants with expertise in a theory or method of business communication research to describe a current project, explain their approach and data, and indicate the project’s implications and/or applications. The aims of the research roundtable are to:

• Provide a forum for communicating research in business communication
• Exchange ideas on research projects, theories and methods
• Share expertise
• Ask questions on a ‘sticky’ problem
• Form research collaborations
• Keep abreast with developments in the field.

Each presenter will describe their project in 5 minutes, and we will then break up into thematic groups for further discussion.

Please submit an abstract of 200 words to the Chair of the Research Committee, Sky Marsen at skymarsen@gmail.com by April 26.
