Call for proposals for Special Fall Issue 2017
Special Issue on Listening in Mediated Contexts
Editor-in-Chief: Margarete Imhof
Guest Editors: Dr. Debra L. Worthington & Dr. Shaughan Keaton
The growth of social media and evolving technology have significantly
impacted who people listen to as well as how and when they listen. In
this Special Issue, The International Journal of Listening explores the
impact of social media and other technology on listening processes. The
goal of the issue is to highlight exceptional articles that explore the
nature of listening in mediated contexts. Mediated contexts are broadly
construed, including mobile phone communication, Facebook, Skype,
YouTube, Instagram or any combination of these and other popular
platforms and devices. Articles may explore the impact on or
relationship to individual communication styles, characteristics of
mediated interaction from both the sender and receiver's perception,
social cognition, as well as the impact of new technology on individual,
group and public listening processes. Papers from various perspectives
and diverse fields are welcome: intrapersonal/interpersonal
communication, doctor-patient communication, sports communication,
romantic relationships, education and instruction. Papers with a
cross-cultural or international focus are particularly welcome.
Examples of themes, include:
- Listening attitudes and behavior in social media
- Listening in online teaching environments.
- Social cognition and person perception in social media
- Intercultural differences in the perception of mediated
communication
- Supportive listening via social media
- Individual choices between voice and short messaging
- Medium and message reception
- Generational differences in listening to social media messages
