CFP: Crossing Boundaries in Crisis Communication

The organizers invite proposals for the Third International Conference on Crisis Communication, October 2-5, 2013, at the ComCenter Brühl in Erfurt, Germany. Contributions that present innovative perspectives on international and/or cross-cultural crisis communication are welcome. In addition, papers should offer conceptual and/or empirical approaches to crisis communication that cross institutional, disciplinary, or epistemological ‘boundaries’. All theoretical perspectives and methodologies are welcome. However, special consideration will be given to cross-national/cross-cultural comparative research. Abstracts should state the title of the presentation, purpose, theoretical approach, methodology, (expected) findings, implications, relevance, and originality of the study. Author and affiliation details are to be included separately in the paper submission system. Abstracts have to be submitted until April 15, 2013. Please see the conference website for more information.
