CALL FOR BOOK CHAPTER PROPOSALS Working title: COMMUNICATION AND PEOPLE WITH DISABILITIES Editors: Dawn O. Braithwaite, Arizona State University West Teresa L. Thompson, University of Dayton We are looking for proposals for book chapters dealing with communication and people with disabilities. A research emphasis has been developing in Communication Studies for almost 20 years, but there has been no compilation of what we have learned. The implementation of the Americans with Disabilities Act, the formation of the Disability Caucus at SCA, presentations being made at scholarly conferences, and our reading of the communication literature all tell us that it is time to edit a book of the work of communication scholars on this important issue. We seek book chapter proposals that are centered on communication and the contribution our discipline has made or can make to understanding and facilitating the communication of people with a wide variety of disabilities. We are looking for essays that review the literature and advance knowledge, theory, research methods, and/or practices. We would encourage data-based conclusions to be presented in chapters, but are looking for essays that move beyond one single data-based study. Areas being considered include, but are not limited to disability as it relates to: communication in interpersonal relationships; social support; people with disabilities as a culture; communication of people with disabilities in groups or organizations; communication in employment or on campus; media or technologies; and essays devoted to communication of people with particular disabilities. Proposals: Send a 1-3 page proposal, indicating a working title and a description of your proposed chapter as well as a curriculum vitae no later than June 30, 1997 to: Dawn O. Braithwaite, Ph.D. Department of Communication Studies Arizona State University West Phoenix, AZ 85069-7100 (602) 543-6612 FAX Feel free to contact either of us to discuss your ideas. We hope you will submit a proposal! Please pass this notice along to interested colleagues.
