Welcome to the 82 nd Convention, 

Welcome to monterey! 

On behalf of WSCA, the City of Monterey, the local hosts CSU- 

Fresno, and all the people who have planned this year’s convention, I 

welcome you to the 82 nd Western States Communication Association 

conference. What a wonderful venue for our scholarship and camaraderie 

to flourish! While we attend panels, meet with friends at receptions, and 

enjoy the local environment, let’s reflect on ways that President Elect 

Pat Ganer’s conference theme “Communication and Community” works 

symbiotically. 

Pat, the Interest Group Planners, and local hosts have assembled an 

excellent array of intellectual and social activities for us. For instance, 

on Saturday, you will be able to be part of a community of friends, 

enjoying the sights of Monterey including the two Kick-Off Events, a 

harbor cruise and a wine tasting tour. You also have the opportunity to 

be part of a community of scholars, with the Undergraduate Scholar’s 

Research Conference, the Basic Course Conference, and preconference 

workshops. Despite the directions we go during the day, we’ll join back 

together at the welcome reception. 

Sunday, Monday, and Tuesday are filled with a variety of panels 

and presentations. Sunday night we’ll dance the night away to the 

sounds of the Bay Area band “Pop Rocks.” Monday afternoon we will 

dine together at the convention luncheon as we honor colleagues who 

provide exceptional service and scholarship to our discipline. To learn 

more about our association, you are welcomed to attend the Legislative 

Assembly Monday evening. Please join me later that evening when I host 

the Presidential Party, paying tribute to WSCA’s past presidents. 

Thank you to Marnel Niles, her students and colleagues who lead the 

local host charge by staffing the registration process, arranging the sock 

hop, and taking care of all the details to make this convention a smooth 

running success. 

I sincerely hope you have a great conference and enjoy the beautiful 

Monterey setting. 

Heather Hundley 

WSCA President

2105 improvisationally speaking: anxiety management 

9:00 am-12:00 pm spyglass 1 

Presenter: Matt Abrahams, De Anza College 

Jerry seinfeld joked that peoples fear of public speaking is so great 

that at a funeral they would rather be in the casket than deliver the 

eulogy. Many of us are uneasy about speaking in public, especially in 

an impromptu, “off the cuff” manner, but much of our personal and 

professional lives require precisely this type of communication. thus, 

in this workshop, we emphasize managing anxiety in both formal 

presentations and less formal speaking opportunities. 

Informed by scholarly research, this hands-on workshop combines 

theory, basic principles, and practical methods of effective public 

speaking and improvisation. through exercises, collaborative 

activities, and improv games, you will be able to speak more calmly 

and confidently. this workshop will consist of a combination of short 

lectures and demonstrations, discussions, and exercises culminating in a 

brief presentation. You will have an opportunity to practice useful and 

immediately applicable anxiety management techniques. 

workshop objectives 

29

(1)examine, understand, and apply the basic theories and tenets of public 

speaking, speech anxiety management, and improvisation. 

(2)Develop skills in preparing, organizing, and delivering formal 

presentations and less formal, impromptu speaking opportunities to an 

audience. 

(3)get practical experience employing speaking anxiety management 

techniques for both formal presentations and less formal speaking 

situations 

(4)enhance critical thinking and communication skills by employing 

improvisation skills and tenets.

2106 teaching the Qualitative methods Course 

9:00 am-12:00 p.m. windjammer 2 

Presenters: Laura ellingson, santa Clara University and shirley K. Drew, 

Pittsburg state University 

this short course offers an alternative way of approaching our practice 

and teaching of qualitative methods. we will cover three main topics: 

moving from a traditional qualitative/quantitative dichotomy to 

conceptualizing methodology as existing along a continuum, helping 

students find/develop innovative yet realistic research projects, and 

designing assignments that are meaningful, manageable, and have 

defined outcomes for assessment. Although we discuss these issues 

primarily as they pertain to graduate qualitative methods courses, we 

point out opportunities and adaptations for undergraduate courses 

(which Dr. ellingson teaches regularly) throughout. Both instructors are 

experienced, widely published ethnographers with extensive experience 

in both using and teaching qualitative methods. 

we explore ways to help students find and develop innovative and 

“do-able” research projects and as well as how to structure effective 

assignments for student assessment. we will provide participants with a 

list of bibliographic references for teaching qualitative research as well 

as a reading list that may be adapted for students, sample exercises, 

assignment descriptions, and other teaching materials.

2107 Communication Privacy management 

30

9:00 am-12:00 p.m. spyglass 2 

Presenters: sandra Petronio , Indiana University-Purdue University, 

Indianapolis and Jeffrey Child, Kent state University 

this workshop aims to offer specific investigative tools to research 

privacy management issues using the communication privacy 

management theory. CPM theory has been widely applied to investigate 

many different contexts in which privacy management takes place. From 

these applications evolves the development of a diagnostic tool and 

methodological template to utilize this predictive theory to its fullest. 

the participants will be trained in using the CPM Diagnostic tool and 

CPM Application template to identify and explain privacy/disclosure/ 

access issues across contexts of study. thus, this session will offer 

information that first teaches how to frame the privacy problem from a 

CPM perspective and second trains participants how to analyze/interpret 

information about privacy management and breakdowns of privacy. 

Activity outline: this three hour session has four component parts: 

( 1) training in the principles of CPM theory; ( 2) training in the CPM 

Diagnostic tool; (3) training in using the CPM Application template; (4) 

discussion of participants’ privacy/disclosure research ideas and feedback 

about privacy concerns.

the performers in this panel seek to examine the ways in which our 

own displaying of our artifacts include or exclude us from particular 

communities, examining the safe space in which to share our artifacts 

and to make sense of the gray area of perception that often leads to 

more questions than answers. through self-reflexive auto-ethnography, 

or auto-archaeology as Ragan Fox describes, and critical analysis, we dig 

through and examine our own inter/actions with the artifacts that define 

a portion of our identity and the community in which we seek and/or 

maintain. we invite audience members to bring and/or wear artifacts 

that display their identity so that the performers can also take on the role

A new student population, continuously increasing in numbers, is arriving 

at community colleges and universities throughout the United states. 

Many of these students recently completed tours of duty in Iraq or 

Afghanistan. these men and women are adjusting from a heightened 

sense of alert, necessary to their survival in combat situations, to 

attending classes encircled by strangers at ease in the classroom 

environment. As educators, we can serve our veterans entering higher 

education by understanding their experiences in combat and recognizing 

signs of stress associated with returning to civilian life. the most difficult 

stressor, as noted by the Veterans Administration is Post traumatic stress 

Disorder (PtsD) effecting approximately 12% of all veterans. this panel 

strives to bring our veterans home by creating a climate of being at home 

in the college classroom.

one commonality that both queer studies and performance studies 

often share is an interest in the body, though the way each field deals 

with the body is often different. In our current historical moment, 

it feels positively cliché to note that performance and queers are 

two disciplines that are particularly difficult to accurately trace onto 

some masochistic Cartesian map. this panel attempts to explore the 

methods and importance of recognizing these refrains for what they 

are: moments of breakage from the repetitious decalcomania necessary 

to the reproduction of normative ways of being in the world, and the 

63

subsequent desire for agents to be nothing but the same. Drawing 

on narrative, Chautauqua, and more traditional theory each panelist 

approaches bodies from a different perspective—focusing in alternating 

fits on the bodies of others, our own, and the potentials of bodies 

working together. Hopefully, the differences between and among 

the panelists will draw attention to the myriad ways that the body is 

communicated, explored, disciplined, and revolutionary and propose 

that instead of rigid boundaries and strict demarcations it is the diversity 

of approaches, thoughts, and commitments that make for the strongest 

communities.

this roundtable discussion brings together faculty members who teach 

online in graduate programs to discuss strategies for building community 

and community-building in online courses and programs. online 

education is a popular topic in the Chronicle of Higher Education, and 

several recent articles have tackled the tension between on-ground and 

online courses. Much of what has been written about online education 

attempts to demonstrate that online courses are as good (rigorous, 

satisfying, etc.) as face-to-face courses (or, often, that they’re not as 

good). while such a comparison makes for good debate, online courses 

are a central (and growing) feature of many departments at universities 

and colleges around the nation. In this roundtable we will use the 

conference theme as inspiration to move beyond the taken-for-granted 

discourse on online education. Panelists will discuss theories, pedagogies, 

and strategies for building community in online classes. we will also focus 

on the unique potential offered by distance classes to impact multiple 

communities through course work, service activities, and research 

assignments. topics that will be addressed include: 

Connections between dialogue and community and strategies for 

generating and facilitating student dialogue. 

strategies for personalizing the course experience for online 

students. 

Institutional or structural barriers to creating community for 

online students. 

ways to encourage deep, sustained thinking on the discussion 

board. 

68

Helping students to connect with their own communities and to 

bring these connections back to course material. 

Audience members will be encouraged to join in the conversation and 

to share their own experiences and examples of community-building 

successes (and failures).

while there are many definitions of community and a variety of ways 

to be in community with others, as performance scholars we are 

particularly interested in exploring the ways the body understands and 

engages community. Ritual performance provides one such vehicle. 

our goal with this interactive performance panel is two-fold: to bring 

together a divergent group of people (conference attendees, ritual 

facilitators, and presenters) to co-create community within ritual space 

and to facilitate the opportunity to explore the communitas made 

possible by ritual liminality.

Abstract: this panel seeks to investigate different community spaces 

as they interact with our bodies to surface understandings of our 

positionalities in conjunction with the larger social politics of power. 

Holding tightly to an intersectional paradigm this panel explores 

84

the trajectories of these particular communities and the coalitional 

possibilities of reflexively engaging the role or our bodies within these 

communities for both purposes of possibilities and marginalization.

one of the most important relationships in the academy is that between 

community colleges and four-year institutions. A number of critical 

issues exist within this relationship, including articulation agreements, 

course preparation, the role of scholarship in the classroom, extra/ 

co-curricular opportunities, among many other matters. Despite the 

importance of these issues, there is very little dialogue between and 

among 2-year and 4-year faculty. given that the student demographic 

in the U.s. has changed and continues to evolve, academics need to 

move quickly to develop a common understanding about students, 

student preparation, and course content. while it is not appropriate 

or desirable to have a uniform perception among all faculty, it is crucial 

that we begin to interrogate misguided assumptions and dispel myths. 

this highly interactive program will begin this difficult dialogue; audience 

participation will be strongly encouraged.

Presented by Performance studies Interest group 

this interactive, site-specific, multimedia, ensemble performance 

encourages the audience to rediscover the beauty and movement(s) of 

water, to revisit collaborative research, and to reclaim ways of knowing 

through diverse methods. through solo/ensemble movement, lyrical 

flows, waves of audience participation, streams of consciousness, pools 

of autoethnographic inquiry, and maybe a little bit of waterfall chasing, 

we aim to inspire others to participate in collaborative performance, as 

well as, to inspire creative and metaphorical inquiry.

As the field of service learning has gained in popularity and legitimacy 

as a method of instruction, it also raises questions of authenticity and 

real community. this interactive panel deconstructs problems with a 

charity-based, “check-it-off-the-list” requirement and discusses various 

alternatives. Models discussed range from contexts of public relations 

and organization studies to peace building, and ethics. Community 

is explored as civic engagement, social responsibility, and spirituality. 

Methods and models of instruction from various paradigms are provided 

with case examples, and audience participants are invited to explore 

deeper questions of privilege, responsibility, and authentic relationship.

this performance panel circulates around while encouraging and 

critiquing the notion of building community in the classroom through 

communication. the panel considers the experiences and encounters 

of race in the classroom, particularly between the “teacher of color” 

teaching and negotiating the identity politics and the politics of identity— 

both through the materiality of bodies and sometimes in the substantive 

content of the course curriculum—and the ways in which such 

encounters provide possibilities of building community through struggles 

with resistance. 

the panel will also explore the ways in which the non-white (minority) 

teaching body becomes both evidence of increasing multiculturalism 

in higher education as a source of liberatory education and the 

object of critique, mediating a reality between the liberal agenda of 

multiculturalism and the resistance to a critical reflexivity of white 

students: literally with non-white (minority) teachers becoming bodies on 

109

extant scholarship on rhetoric and performance, including the 

interrogation of studying rhetoric while living in/as bodies (e.g. Pezzullo, 

Cálafell, Flores, Hawhee) serves as intellectual progeny for the “family 

legends” (such as Conquergood, ehninger, Brockriede, ButlerCorder, 

Hochmuth Nichols, and ed Black) that opened the spaces from which 

we now speak/write. we thus challenge wsCA attendees and officers 

to acknowledge and support BotH dialectical poles, ‘ease’ AND ‘disease,’ 

‘consensus’ AND ‘dissensus,’ ‘identification’ AND ‘division,’ rather 

than only valorizing each of the first terms uncritically and unreflectively. 

embracing the entire dialectic inherent and implicit in communitas, then, 

is the only way to communicate in,across, and/or for “the community.”

the exponential growth of new technologies has had a profound and 

seemingly lasting effect on communication practices and pedagogy 

strategies in the classroom. Courses on ‘popular culture’ typically 

address and problematize the ways in which our rapidly changing culture 

impacts contemporary notions of consumption, critique, communication, 

and community. In order to better understand the impact these 

changes have on the classroom community, instructors must grapple 

with and account for the prevalence of phenomena such as social 

networking, mediated identities/communities, materiality/corporeality, 

and reconceptualizing critical interventions. this panel examines 

critical problems and offers unique strategies for contending with and 

117

incorporating such themes in the classroom, and offers examples of 

communication phenomena, artifacts, and teaching tools for keeping 

courses on popular culture contemporary.

identity. By utilizing the tools of ethnography and participant-observation 

a richer understanding of verbal and non-verbal patterns, rituals and 

socialization practices are presented within a variety of groups and

create an atmosphere for discussion of the underlying question of how 

community is created and sustained through communication, and how 

we can better bridge gaps in understanding communities we do not

For a range of economic, logistic and technological reasons, the design 

and delivery of the Basic Course is currently in transformation across 

the country. It is of utmost importance that pedagogical challenges 

and possibilities are placed at the center of the hybrid re-design for 

public speaking courses as departments address budgetary and space 

concerns as well as student demand. Hybrid re-design projects, such as 

those presented in this panel discussion, can optimize the pedagogical 

advantages of both the in-class format and the on-line format while 

reducing costs and meeting student demand. Re-conceptualizing course 

objectives, delivery and assessment practices is required to accomplish 

these goals. Panelists highlight the successes, challenges, modifications 

and transformation of the public speaking course that accompanies the 

transition from an entirely in-class format to the hybrid format. on the 

cutting-edge of research and practice that builds face-to-face as well as 

virtual communities in the classroom, panel participants offer insight into 

the planning, design, implementation, delivery and assessment processes 

that are beneficial to anyone considering the transition to a hybrid 

format for the fundamentals of public speaking course. the interactive 

discussion contributes to research and practice in this emerging area.

WESTERN STATES COMMUNICATION ASSOCIATION 

2012 Convention Albuquerque, New Mexico 

February 17-21 

CALL for 

Competitive Papers, Program Proposals, Pre-conference Proposals, 

Workshop Proposals, Undergraduate Scholars’ Research Conference 

(USRC), and Graduate Students Workshop & Graduate Programs 

Open House 

As teachers and scholars, we live in and value a world of ideas. In our 

work, we ask ourselves, our colleagues, and our students to connect 

that world of ideas to the material world in which we live, work, and 

act. For many of us, the motivation to continue our work on a daily 

basis emerges, at least in part, from our firm belief that what we do, as 

teachers and scholars, matters, and that our efforts are connected to 

a larger process of social change. Increasingly, we come to our work 

invested in the possibilities of transformation, particularly as relevant 

to under-served and disenfranchised communities. the 2012 wsCA 

conference theme, in Albuquerque, New Mexico, “striving for social 

Change,” asks participants to conceptualize our academic efforts as 

central to social change—in our discipline, our communities both large 

and small, and our everyday lives. this is an opportunity for participants 

to come together and extend our understanding of the ways that the 

concepts and practices that guide our work can also foster social change 

and the creation of a more humane and reflective world.

audio-visual and other equipment rental and costs of producing 

materials for participants must be covered within the overall fee 

that you specify. The Association cannot reimburse more money

If a part or all of a fee is proposed as covering an individual’s 

expenses or as an honorarium, Lisa A. Flores must approve it 

prior to any commitment to the individual. 

F. Workshop proposals should be sent as an email attachment

M.A. in Communication Studies 

The Department of Communication Studies offers a 

strong curriculum that embraces a range of traditions 

in the field. Our Master of Arts program provides 

advanced study of human communication in its various 

and diverse forms, contexts, and processes. The 

program prepares students to pursue academic and 

professional career paths such as a Ph.D. in the field, 

Community College instruction, or a career in the 

communication industry. 

The department’s graduate program is governed by the 

principle that the student should have the opportunity 

to study and to conduct original research in areas of the 

student’s primary interests. Thus, the department seeks 

to balance two concerns: (a) to permit each student to 

tailor the Program of Study to individual interests and 

abilities; and (b) to insure that all students acquire a 

coherent perspective within the field of communication. 

The program comprises thirty-three units of 

coursework in Communication Studies and a 

Culminating Experience selected in consultation with 

advisers. 

Teaching Opportunities 

Teaching Associateships are available to qualified 

students in our program; these positions involve 

teaching two sections of the public speaking course and 

a service assignment working with one of the various 

co-curricular programs in the Department such as 

Forensics, Performance Ensemble, and the Aronstam 

Library. 

The Department also welcomes inquiries from qualified 

candidates for part-time positions in our adjunct faculty 

in Communication Studies. 

Application materials and other information about curriculum 

and faculty can be viewed at the Department
