CALL FOR SUBMISSIONS

Argumentation and Advocacy seeks to publish the best in studies of argumentation in all its forms and from diverse theoretical and methodological perspectives. It seeks to address a broad intellectual audience interested in argumentation studies but not necessarily conversant with a specialized vocabulary.   

The journal follows a policy of blind peer review. Manuscripts for regular issues ordinarily will be read by two or three reviewers selected from among the Editorial Board and invited referees; manuscripts for special issues will be read by a guest Editor and invited referees.

The American Forensic Association (AFA) invites submission of competitive papers, panels, and public debate events related to all types of forensics, oratory, and argumentation in both competitive and public contexts. The 2011 NCA convention theme “Voice” invites scholars to reflect on how argumentation and forensic practices intersect across the conference theme.
