[Joe Karaganis]

Hi Everyone,

 

Just a note that nominations are being accepted for three International
Communication Association prizes (which  we created last year).
CITASA's own Barry Wellman received the first Communication Research as
an Open Field award. 

 

Nominations have to come from ICA members, but there are no restrictions
on nominees.   See http://www.icahdq.org/aboutica/awards.asp for more
details.  Any help spreading the word would be welcome.

 

The deadline is Jan 31, with prizes awarded at ICA in May.

 

Happy New Year to you,

 

Joe

COMMUNICATION RESEARCH AS COLLABORATIVE PRACTICE

The CRCP prize is awarded to researchers who engage in innovative forms
of collaboration to address emergent problems in media and
communication. It is designed to encourage collaborative communications
research combining the efforts of researchers, practitioners, and other
interested parties in the production of new knowledge.

Collaboration that falls outside the usual incentive structures of the
academy and that overcomes risks associated with building new kinds of
partnerships will be a focus of this reward. The award carries a cash
prize of $500.

 

COMMUNICATION RESEARCH AS AN AGENT OF CHANGE

The CRAC prize of $500 is awarded to research that has a demonstrable
impact on practice outside the academy, with clear benefits to the
community. How communication research may serve as an agent of change
and social benefit is open to definition with the application for the
award.

 

COMMUNICATION RESEARCH AS AN OPEN FIELD

The CROF prize of $500 is awarded to researchers who have made important
contributions to the field of communications from outside the discipline
of communications. It rewards and supports dialogue with other fields
and institutional locations in which vital new understandings of the
communications environment and the public sphere are being produced.
