As German media theory is becoming aVailable in translation across the globe, what kind of readings and critiques is it receiving? In what kind of theoretical and socio-political contexts are such readings performed? The preconference, hosted by the Goethe Institut, will offer a forum to discuss the exchange of media theory between German-language writers and the global community of communication scholars. 3109 Annual Board of Directors Meeting of the International Communication Association (continued) Friday Sponsored Sessions 8:00–12:00 Georgetown East (Washington Hilton, Concourse Level) 31100 PRECONFERENCE: Environmental Communication Beyond Boundaries: Transnational, International, and Comparative Approaches to Understanding Environmental Issues Friday Sponsored Sessions 8:00–17:00 OFFSITE: Chairs George Suzannah EVans Comfort, Indiana U Bloomington, USA Washington U Julia Metag, U of Fribourg, SWITZERLAND School of Public Bruno Takahashi, Michigan State U, USA Health Jagadish Thaker, Massey U, NEW ZEALAND The aim of this preconference is to bring together scholars from around the world to share research related to transnational and international aspects of enVironmental communication. While enVironmental issues are often fundamentally global in that causes and effects of enVironmental risk can be separated by thousands of miles and connected by the forces of globalization, most research related to enVironmental communication has focused on indiVidual nations as the site of inquiry. In addition, enVironmental communication research has primarily featured nations in the Global North. Therefore, this preconference especially welcomes research related to and/or produced in the Global South. 3111 PRECONFERENCE: Organizational Communication Doctoral Consortium Friday Sponsored Sessions 8:00–17:00 Monroe Chair (Washington Timothy Kuhn, U of Colorado Boulder, USA Hilton, Discussants Concourse Oana Albu, U of Southern Denmark, DENMARK Level) Joshua Barbour, U of Texas at Austin, USA KeVin Barge, Texas A&M U, USA William Barley, U of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, USA Patrice Buzzanell, U of South Florida, USA François Cooren, U de Montréal, CANADA Joelle Cruz, U of Colorado Boulder, USA ShiV Ganesh, Massey U, NEW ZEALAND Jennifer Gibbs, U of California, Santa Barbara, USA Kate Harris, U of Minnesota, USA Laurie Lewis, Rutgers U, USA Rebecca Meisenbach, U of Missouri, USA Connie Yuan, Cornell U, USA This doctoral consortium is open to doctoral students at all leVels of study.
