The USC School of Journalism and Mass Communications will host the 2011 Southeast Colloquium for the Association for Education in Journalism and Mass Communication March 17-19 in Columbia, S.C.

Authors are invited to submit completed research papers to the paper chairs listed on the right by the postmark deadline of Dec. 13, 2010 (DEADLINE HAS PASSED). All papers must be submitted via first class U.S. Mail or overnight delivery.

Graduate students are encouraged to submit papers.

Four copies of each paper should be submitted. One copy should have a title page with identifying information (name, faculty or student designation, affiliation, complete U.S. postal address, phone number, and e-mail address), and three copies should contain a title page with no identifying information. No other identifying information should be included on any of the copies.

Each paper should include an abstract of 250 words or less attached behind the title page (with no identifying information). Length of papers should not exceed 30 pages including references and tables (50 pages for Law and Policy papers — see the separate call here>). No electronic submissions will be accepted. Authors of accepted papers will be notified by the end of January 2011.

Acceptance and/or submission of papers to colloquium paper competitions does not prevent authors from submitting to AEJMC divisions for the national convention.

The author of each accepted paper (at least one author in the case of a coauthored paper) must present the paper at the colloquium, March 17–19, 2011, or may have the invitation to present rescinded and may not claim acceptance of the paper on a CV or other such report.

Winners of top paper awards in each division also are expected to attend the business luncheon and meeting on Saturday, March 19, 2011.
