>a paper for this special issue. If you would be so kind as to circulate

>Communication Education invites manuscripts for a special issue entitled:
>
>
>Communication Genres in Disciplinary Discourse Communities:
>Theoretical and Pedagogical Explorations of Communication Across the
>Curriculum and in the Disciplines
>
>Deadline for manuscript submissions: January 2, 2004
>
>Teaching communication skills in diverse academic disciplines brings to
>the fore issues that extend beyond the standard pedagogy of public
>speaking. When communication scholars and practitioners work with faculty
>and students in other disciplines on oral communication competence,
>complex processes of teaching and learning within disciplinary discourse
>communities emerge. This special issue will explore the broad
>disciplinary and discursive contexts involved in the teaching and learning
>of communication genres especially forms of talk--in the disciplines, and
>it will inquire into the programmatic and pedagogical implications of
>these contexts.
>
>Manuscripts may address, but are not limited to, the following themes:
>
>" The teaching and learning processes of oral genres in the
>disciplines, as they coexist with other disciplinary modalities of
>communication genres (e.g., visual, textual, technological)
>" The intersection of oral communication pedagogy and professional
>identity construction, within and outside of the academic context
>" Processes of socialization into disciplinary or professional norms of
>communication (moving from novice to expert in a community of practice)
>" Comparisons of the contexts within which oral genres are taught and
>learned, and the various activity systems that influence those contexts
>" Processes of learning discourses in the world of work, and the degree
>to which the discourses of schooling facilitate or impede that process
>" Explorations of the ways in which formal and informal communication
>genres talk at the water cooler as well as in the laboratory--facilitate
>acquisition of disciplinary discourse and disciplinary knowledge
>" Tensions between pedagogical goals of disciplinary accommodation
>(e.g., teaching students to communicate in ways that are typical of the
>disciplinary discourse community) and disciplinary innovation (e.g.,
>teaching students to explore forms of talk that are not typical of their
>chosen discipline, but could be important in changing the discourse community)
>" The richness of interdisciplinary collaboration and negotiation in
>teams working to promote communication across the curriculum
>
>Manuscripts that are co-authored by educators from across disciplines
>(when appropriate) are especially encouraged. Manuscripts that primarily
>provide cross-curricular program descriptions, descriptions with little
>heuristic impact, are discouraged. Yet when appropriate, authors should
>attend to both theoretical and programmatic/pedagogical implications of
>their scholarship, and conceptualize those implications for audiences both
>inside and outside of the communication discipline. All theoretical and
>methodological perspectives are welcome.
