Call for Papers on Spillover effect of crisis

Daniel Laufer, Victoria University of Wellington, New Zealand and Yijing Wang, Erasmus University Rotterdam, the Netherlands will be guest-editors of the Public Relations Review special issue The Spillover Effect of Crises: Understanding when and why crises spread from one individual or organization to another and are pleased to invite EUPRERA members and colleagues to submit their contributions by April 1, 2023.

Crises that spread from one organization or individual to another occur frequently, however despite the importance of understanding when and how this occurs, there is very little research on this important topic. As Laufer & Wang (2018) point out, the crisis literature has focused much more on crises that directly impact an organization, when compared with the spillover effect of crises.

A spillover crisis occurs when “events in an external organization create concern, uncertainty, or perceptions of harm for another organization.” (Veil et al., 2016, p.317). A spillover crisis can also occur between individuals such as politicians, athletes and celebrities.

Call for Chapters on Gender and Freelancing in Comms Industries

This edited book is intended for the Women, Economics and the Labour Relations series, published by Emerald (editor-in-chief: Dr Martina Topić). The book will provide a much-needed exploration of the intersection of gender and freelance work in the communication industries (public relations, advertising, marketing, corporate comms, and digital communication), with a special focus on national issues and comparative international research.

The exploration of the experiences, practices, and discourses related to communication freelancers from a gender perspective would contribute to the closing of the current research and knowledge gaps, often generated by the lack of individualisation of freelancers among communication professionals in research projects.

The editors Anca Anton (University of Bucharest, Romania) and Raluca Moise (University of the Arts London, UK) invite prospective authors to develop chapters addressing the several topics (see full call) through qualitative, quantitative or mixed methods approaches.

Interested contributors should send a 500-word structured abstract together with up to six keywords and a 100-word biography for each author by April 15, 2023.

For submission instructions and further details, please see the Call for Chapters

Call for Chapters on Public and Corporate Diplomacy

Diana Ingenhoff and Jerome Chariatte (University of Fribourg, Switzerland) and Elad Segev (Tel Aviv University, Israel) invite colleagues to submit proposals for the Handbook of Public and Corporate Diplomacy Research, to be published by Edward Elgar Publishing in 2024.

The focus of this book is on empirical studies presenting activities of public and corporate diplomacy actors across the whole strategic communication process. Thereby, different methodological approaches should be used and discussed with the goal to show how various methods contribute and fit best to the analysis of different communication levels.

Interested contributors shall send an extended abstract of 1000-1500 words, which presents their topic of investigation and highlights the advantages and disadvantages of their research method for the analysis of the communication level of their choice. Abstracts need to be sent in by March 31, 2023. For submission instructions and further details, please

JCom CfP on Corporate Science Communication

The Journal of Communication Management invites submission for a call for paper on “Corporate Science Communication”, with deadline May 2, 2023.

Crporate science communication deserves specific focus due to the relationship—and potential conflict—between honest and accurate science communication and commercial interests. From pharmaceutical companies communicating about mRNA vaccines to electric car manufacturers communicating about environmental benefits, the CfP encourages to examine the impacts of this communication on our daily lives.

Although laws and regulations vary around the world, the commercialization of science is a global trend. This is a prominent topic in scholarship about science policy (e.g., Leisyte, 2011), science education (e.g., Kleinman, Feinstein, & Downey, 2013), and science, technology and society (STS) (e.g., Hansen, 2011) but parallel conversations related to science communication are lacking and needed.

The special issue on corporate science communication will contribute to that discussion. For the purposes of this issue, science is broadly defined and may include scholarship on health, environmental, and risk communication. We invite contributions from researchers in all communication fields and related disciplines.

CfP for Special Issue of American Behavioral Scientist

The American Behavioral Scientist Journal invites submissions for a special issue on Sustainability, Consumerism, Socio-Demographic differences and purchase behavior, guest-edited by Martina Topić, Ioannis Kostopoulos and Miloš Krstić.

This special issue, therefore, looks at purchase behaviour linked to people’s sociodemographic characteristics, agency and origin to explore the extent to which people’s shopping behaviour can be changed and influence the sustainability agenda without tackling inequality first. The journal is interested in both normative and empirical papers that follow a variety of methodological approaches and present original research studying consumer behaviour (from marketing, sociological and psychological perspectives) as well as the behaviour of publics regarding communication messages that are communicated to publics (public relations perspective).

Studies on consumerism and its link to environmental degradation are also of interest, as well as studies tackling media impact on sustainability debate (Abdulrazak & Quoquab, 2018; Figueroa-García, 2018; Trudel, 2019; Kautish, & Sharma, 2020). Editors will consider all well-written and original papers. Sociological studies focusing on class and purchase behaviour and media studies focusing on how the media report on consumption and class are particularly welcome.

Deadline for full paper submission is November 1.
