This document provides information on preconference sessions and workshops taking place at the Western States Communication Association conference in Seattle. There are several preconference sessions that will discuss reframing research for social justice, the rhetorical legacy of the 1999 WTO protests, and a private tour of Boeing's new assembly facility. Workshops will address effectively integrating technology into public speaking courses, innovations for teaching interpersonal conflict, managing organizational culture, and incorporating physiology into communication teaching and research.
Youth & Digital Media: Increasing LIteracies & Minimizing RisksJacqueline Vickery
I presented this talk to counselors and educators for an independent school district in Texas. It was intended to provide a contextual understanding of teens' digital media practices by situating them within historical and developmental contexts. The primary purpose was to demonstrate the need for adults and youth-focused institutions to support the development of digital media literacies. Rather than taking a "don't take any risks" approach or a "media are dangerous approach", this talk focuses on the positive ways young people engage with digital media for the purposes of identity exploration, socialization, learning, creativity, and autonomy. Developing digital media literacies, including network and social literacies, empowers students to actively and responsibly participate in the creation of their own media ecologies.

Digital Media & Youth Safety - Ricky Lewis & Jacqueline VickeryJacqueline Vickery
This talk attempts to contextualize young people's digital media practices. We want to acknowledge risks alongside the benefits of digital and social media. I take a literacies approach that recognizes risks are not necessarily harmful and that helping students assess and manage risks will decrease harm.
Commissioned by the W.K. Kellogg Foundation and written by Matt Leighninger of the Deliberative Democracy Consortium, this paper reviews that conversation and extends an invitation to both deliberative democracy and dialogue practitioners and to community organizers to continue it. In doing so, it invites civic engagement practitioners from diverse schools of thought to raise and tackle tough, important questions; to deepen their mutual understanding of other practices and approaches, and of the values underlying and unifying their work; and to propose ideas for working together more effectively, and with greater impact.

approach conflict.”

1. PRECONFERENCE SESSIONS
2101 (2201) REFRAMING OUR RESEARCH FOR SOCIAL CHANGE
Sponsored by University of Washington, University of Puget Sound, University of
Montana, ORWAC, WSCA President-Elect
9:00 am-4:00 pm Saturday, February 17 Columbia
As individual teacher/scholars, we often want to do “research that matters”—to us, and to
the greater communities of which we are a part. Yet we sometimes find it difficult to
bridge the gap between the research we do and the communities/processes we study,
puzzled by the challenge of how to give back to the community, how to get what we have
learned into the loop, how to intervene for “the greater good,” without being paternalistic
or short-circuiting the self-empowerment process for those whom we seek to serve. This
is an opportunity for committed scholars to speak together about what has worked for
them. We ask preconference attendees to read George Lakoff’s Don’t Think of an
Elephant! Know Your Values and Frame the Debate (White River Junction, VT: Chelsea
Green Pub. Co., 2004), as a common point of reference. Attendees will have
opportunities to confer with the panelists about how to bring their own work to wider
audiences to effect social change. We hope that the impact will be both inspirational and
ongoing, as we return to our communities.

2102 (2202) SOCIAL JUSTICE, ACTIVISM, AND THE RHETORICAL LEGACY OF
THE 1999 WTO PROTEST
Sponsored by Rhetoric and Public Address Interest Group
9:00 am – 5:00 pm Saturday, February 17 Marion
The massive 1999 protests against the meeting of the World Trade Organization (WTO)
in Seattle marked an important moment in the deployment of rhetoric both to pursue and
to oppose social justice. The discourse of activists mobilized a diverse array of social
movements in support of fair trade, environmental protection, workers rights, and
economic justice. Government and media representations of the protests often sought
rhetorically to deny legitimacy to the public arguments of the activists. As the Western
States Communication Association meets in Seattle, this Pre-Conference explores the
rhetorical legacy of the 1999 protests in contemporary activism for social justice. The
presentations and discussions include the needed work of theorizing the 1999 protests as
well as attention to the experience of social activism itself. The Pre-Conference combines
invited presentations by three rhetoricians who have conducted substantial research on
2. the 1999 Seattle protests, roundtable discussions of short position papers by participants,
and a tour of key sites in the 1999 events. The goal of this pre-conference is to bring
together established and new scholars to explore the ways in which new research on
rhetoric and social activism can learn from the successes and failures of the 1999 WTO
protests in Seattle.

3. Workshops
2103 EFFECTIVELY INTEGRATING TECHNOLOGY INTO THE PUBLIC
SPEAKING COURSE
9:00 am – 12:00 pm Saturday, February 17 James
The vast majority of today’s college students are routinely immersed in the Internet,
information technology, cable and satellite television, and a host of personal
communication devices. These remarkable developments pose a great challenge to the
instructors of traditional college courses in communication, especially public speaking.
Rather than avoid, downplay, or resist the irreversible changes our society is now
experiencing in technology, this workshop advocates a proactive approach, integrating
new communication technologies into every aspect of the speechmaking process. This
workshop encourages instructors and students to embrace the notion of speaking
visually—connecting speaker and audience on multiple levels with imaginative uses of
technology. This doesn’t mean throwing out all the core topics and traditional
foundations of the public speaking class. Rather, instructors blend new technology
resources into each stage of public speaking. This interactive, multimedia workshop
provides public speaking instructors with constructive strategies for integrating new
communication technologies in each stage of the public speaking process: visualizing and
choosing a topic; identifying appropriate text, image, audio and visual resources;
analyzing the audience; practicing the speech; and presenting the speech. Attendees will
participate in activity simulations that utilize new communication technology resources.
Handouts include activities, sample assignments, useful websites, and other ancillary
materials.

2104 INNOVATIONS FOR TEACHING INTERPERSONAL CONFLICT
9:00 am – 12:00 pm Saturday, February 17 Spring
As the study and research base related to Interpersonal Conflict matures, new
perspectives and activities are emerging. This interactive workshop presents innovations
in conflict management theory and updated exercises for basic interpersonal conflict
concepts. Workshop participants will understand and have an opportunity to discuss
emerging theories for conflict management; understand and experience new skill building
exercises; preview emerging hot topics related to conflict management; and understand
how to deliver a unit on mediation.

Fee: $10.00
4. 2105 WORKING THE ORGANIZATIONAL CULTURE: A WORLD CAFÉ
EXPERIENCE FOR LEADERS
9:00 am – 12:00 pm Saturday, February 17 Madison
One of the critical functions of leaders lies in their ability to manage and treat the culture
of their group or organization. As Edgar Schein (1995) puts it, “the only thing of real
importance that a leader does is to create and manage organizational or group culture, and
the unique talent of leaders is their ability to understand and work culture.” The
facilitators of this workshop strongly endorse this position and are therefore motivated to
guide colleagues in their quest to lead, manage, teach or supervise the key groups or
organizations in their lives. This workshop is designed to focus participants’ attention on
the evident relationship between leaders’ efforts to manage the culture of their
organization or group and the ultimate success of that organization or group. Further, it
aims to engage participants in reflection about their own leadership roles and functions
and to facilitate their efforts to conceptualize and design strategies for managing their
own organization or group culture that they lead. More specifically, this workshop
promises to give participants insights into the dominant perspectives on managing
organizational culture that exist in the literature on Organizational Culture; provide them
with an understanding of the role of leaders in organizational culture; allow them to
reflect on their own leadership roles, whether it is the classroom, business organizations,
family, or social group; and guide them as they identify strategies and tactics pertinent to
managing the culture and climate of their selected organization. NOTE: Leadership is
broadly defined to include parenting, training, classroom teaching, managing and leading
in business and social organizations, among others types of situations/environments

2203 TEACHING PUBLIC SPEAKING ON-LINE: FROM DEVELOPMENT TO
LESSONS LEARNED
Sponsored by McGraw-Hill
1:00 pm – 4:00 pm Saturday, February 17 Madison
More and more courses are being offered on-line; at some institutions, administration is
requiring General Education courses to be available on-line. Methods used in past on-line
courses did not promote an on-line sense of community or take advantage of the
multimedia environment. On-line teaching requires skills/strategies to meet learning
objectives for the public speaking course. Through this workshop, participants will
overcome objections to teaching Oral Communication on-line; learn how to create and
run an on-line course in Oral Communication; adapt classroom teaching techniques to an
on-line environment; put public speaking into contexts that are meaningful to students,
and create an on-line sense of community between classmates and instructors.

2204 RETHINKING WHAT WE MEAN BY THE “INTRO” COURSE:
DEVELOPING AND INCORPORATING AN INTRODUCTORY COMMUNICATION
SURVEY COURSE INTO THE CURRICULUM
1:00 pm – 4:00 pm Saturday, February 17 James
A great number of our field’s quot;introquot; courses focus on skill development (public
speaking, interpersonal communication, or a hybrid of these two topics), while a much
smaller number of departments offer an introductory survey course of the
Communication field. It is difficult defining and explaining our field to students and
colleagues alike, especially when many of our departments cannot point to a course that
accomplishes this goal. The presenters of this workshop have been teaching an
introductory survey course for 10 years and have found it invaluable for introducing non-
majors to the field of Communication, as well as building a foundation for majors as they
pursue their degrees. A basic survey course serves three purposes for making our field
healthier. First, it introduces the field to majors, providing them with the essential tools
to succeed in other major courses. Second, it introduces the field to non-majors who are
fulfilling general education requirements (similar to Introduction to Sociology or
Psychology courses). Third, it demonstrates to students, colleagues, and
administrators that the field of Communication is not solely devoted to service courses
that focus on skill development, but a viable academic field of study that has its own
history, theories, research practices, organizations, and specializations. This workshop
will be hands-on, providing practical strategies for developing such a course and
incorporating it into major and G.E. curriculum.
Presenters: Scott T. Payton, Humboldt State University

2205 BODY AND MIND: INCORPORATING PHYSIOLOGY INTO
COMMUNICATION TEACHING AND RESEARCH
1:00 pm – 4:00 pm Saturday, February 17 Spring
This workshop focuses on connections between communication behavior and the body’s
physiological processes. First, an overview of recent advances in physiology research
that have direct implications for an understanding of human communication is provided.
Second, some simple ways of incorporating physiological measurement into
communication research are described, and their benefits and risks are discussed.
Finally, the workshop describes ways to incorporate knowledge about physiology into
teaching materials and practices in communication. Participants will increase their
understanding of how communication behavior and the body interact, and how to
incorporate this knowledge into their teaching and research activities.

6. 2206 TEACHER TO TRAINER II: THE NEXT FRONTIER IN GENERATING
MAXIMUM IMPACT
1:00 pm – 4:00 pm Saturday, February 17 East
As communication professionals, we have many opportunities to speak with non-
academic groups. These speaking engagements can be a challenge since members of
business and civic audiences are motivated differently than college students. Speaking as
a communication “trainer” requires adjusting our content and style to generate maximum
impact among working adults. This workshop builds upon the WSCA 2006 Teacher to
Trainer workshop. It is designed both for those who attended last year’s workshop, and
all newcomers. Upon completion of the workshop, attendees will be able to: Increase
participants’ commitment to the training program; successfully manage cynical
participants; identify the training model best suited to their personal style; and generate
positive participation in any audience

4000 PRIVATE TOUR OF BOEING’S NEW FINAL ASSEMBLY FACILITY IN
RENTON, WASHINGTON: “MOVE TO THE LAKE”
Sponsored by the Organizational Communication Interest Group
7:00 – 10:00 am Monday, February 19
Convene in hotel lobby; board vans to Boeing facility
Please note: Due to conditions imposed by Boeing, if you are interested in attending
this workshop, you must pre-register.
This tour includes an up-close look at the final assembly of Boeing jets. The tour is meant
to help bridge the gap between organizational communication scholars and industry. The
tour will inform and inspire scholars to stay current with the communication challenges
and responses of one of America’s leading companies. The company’s goal in building
this new facility was to use a just-in-time inventory system that created space for and
allowed members of formerly dispersed departments to co-locate under one roof and
increase interaction. Boeing’s decision-making and factory design have clear
communication implications.
Boeing Tour Rules and Regulations:
1. No cameras, video recorders or camera phones permitted
2. Visitors must comply with all safety regulations:
