IAICS 2003: CALL-FOR-PARTICIPATION 

  We are organizing panels for the IAICS (the International Association for 
Intercultural Communication Studies) 9th International Conference on 
Intercultural Understanding and Communication. The conference will be held 
at California State University, Fullerton 
July 24-28, 2003 (IAICS home page: http://www.trinity.edu/org/ics/). The 
theme of the panels will focus on Asian approaches to human communication. 
Papers that aim to demonstrate the following aspects are invited: 

*To address theoretical and methodological issues in human communication 
studies 
in Asia (ideally, across countries and regions). 
*To draw out principles of human communication from Asian 
philosophical-religious traditions (e.g., Buddhism, Confucianism, Hinduism, 
Shintonism, and Taoism). 
*To explore aspects of human communication through Asian indigenous concepts

in 
Asian languages. 

Papers selected to be included in the panels will appear in a special issue 
of Intercultural Communication Studies (Vol. 12, 2003). Please submit the 
abstract (200-300 words) or any inquiries to one of the following persons 
by January 10, 2003.
