School(s) of Communication

The Borg Center for Reading and Literacy

 

Paper proposals might address topics such as (but not limited to) the following:

•        What are specific ways in which the corporate and political elite uses the mass media to promulgate their ideologies and practices?

•        How does the mass media perpetuate divisions amongst social groups across the globe?

•        How can teacher educators prepare future teachers by using critical media studies in teacher preparation programs?

•        How can educators, youth, and concerned citizens provide more genuine representations of global citizens through their own media products?

•        How has media literacy successfully fostered K-20 students’ critical engagement with mass media?

•        How have various technologies employed by corporate conglomerates in the mass media been used to foster critical understanding and solidarity across the globe, rather than to promote conformity and corporatism?

•        How can various critical theories enrich our understanding of the mass media in the age of neoliberalism?

•        What are some ways in which media literacy can be applied to the new demands and concerns of today‘s digitized culture?

•        How might library scientists go about training critical media librarians?

CALL FOR CHAPTER PROPOSALS

Proposal Submission Deadline: February 20, 2014

Strategic Customer Relationship Management in the Age of Social Media

A book edited by Dr. Amir Khanlari

(University of Tehran, Iran)

 

To be published by IGI Global: http://bit.ly/1gqfi8a

 

For release in Advances in Marketing, Customer Relationship Management, and E-Services (AMCRMES) Book Series.

 

Series Editor: Eldon Y. Li (National Chengchi University, Taiwan & California Polytechnic State University, USA)

ISSN: 2327-5502

 

The Advances in Marketing, Customer Relationship Management, and E-Services (AMCRMES) Book Series addresses success factors for customer relationship management, marketing, and electronic services and its performance outcomes. This collection of reference source covers aspects of consumer behavior and marketing business strategies aiming towards researchers, scholars, and practitioners in the fields of marketing management.

 

Introduction

As an emerging discipline, interpretations of Social CRM vary, but the most frequently quoted definition is from Paul Greenberg. He defined it as “a philosophy and a business strategy, supported by a technology platform, business rules, workflow, processes and social characteristics, designed to engage the customer in a collaborative conversation in order to provide mutually beneficial value in a trusted and transparent business environment. It’s the company’s response to the customer’s ownership of the conversation.”

Social CRM is a new approach for organizations that want to optimize the potential of social interactions to get closer to customers. Considering high usage of social networks, businesses are feeling extreme pressure to be where their customers are. Social CRM uses high potential of social media to develop relationships among different stakeholders, including employees, customers and businesses. But getting started with social CRM is comparable to other IT projects. Being multifaceted process, implementing this concept has a high risk and uncertainty. The most common factors associated with social CRM project failures may have included no clear strategy, no measurable objectives, or adopting technology without strategy, defined processes and organizational alignment. So, there is a need for resources and texts to address all aspects of this discipline. This book looks to discuss and address the comprehensive view to this emerging discipline including tools, techniques and strategies.

Objective of the Book

This comprehensive and timely publication aims to be an essential reference source, building on the available literature in the field of social CRM while providing for further research opportunities in this dynamic field for researchers and academicians. And also, it is hoped that this text will provide the resources necessary for professionals to adopt and implement social CRM strategies, processes and techniques.

 

Target Audience

Interdisciplinary students, faculty members/trainers/professors, research scientists, and as well as professional managers, analysts, consultants will find this book useful.

 

Recommended topics include, but are not limited to, the following:

�         Social CRM strategies

�         Social CRM processes and value chain

The Transgressive Classroom: Borders, Barriers, & Becoming in the Queer Studies Classroom

Posted on January 27, 2014 | Leave a comment

SEEKING:
3-4 participants for a roundtable/panel tentatively titled “The Transgressive Classroom: Borders, Barriers, & Becoming in the Queer Studies Classroom”
at the annual NWSA conference, November 13-16, in San Juan, Puerto Rico.

WORKING RATIONALE:
It is no revelation to learn that higher ed instructors and classrooms are called to satisfy many goals, from covering substantive material to satisfying education outcomes and assessment requirements to preparing students for the “real world.” The burden falls perhaps even more heavily on the feminist and queer classrooms, populated as they often are by students who have deeply personal reason for taking such courses. What is our responsibility to these students, the ones who may “need” the course for more than academic reasons? And what is our responsibility to our other students, who may take the course for academic credit but for whom the spark of activism can be lit?
How can we blend our commitment to the affective dimensions of teaching (in which the material covered may indeed be literal matters of life, liberty, and love for instructors and students) while also maintaining the intellectual rigor required by our own training and the pedagogical goals of our institutions? In what ways do concepts both old and new, from “the personal is political” to “engaged learning,” assist in – or detract from — this struggle? Are queer classrooms transgressive simply by virtue of existing at all? Or are there specific approaches, strategies, techniques that produce queer classrooms which exist “not merely to share information but to share in the intellectual and spiritual growth of our students.” We hope to range across several broad categories of concern in queer pedagogy — practical concerns (texts, readings), curricular concerns (requirements, program design, “coverage”), theoretical concerns (queer vs. LGBT approaches), and material concerns (embodiment, silencing, activism) – while at the same time questioning the interplay between teaching and transgression, learning and liberation.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:
We are excited for a variety of approaches to and perspectives on this topic both theoretical and practical, and we intend for the session to include ample time for audience-panelist discussion. Please don’t hesitate to submit your idea or to email with questions.

HOW TO SUBMIT:
Send topic, title, and 50-100 word abstract to miltonw@usf.edu by Friday, February 7th.
Please include your name, contact info, institutional affiliation and position/level (if any), and any other relevant information.

NOTIFICATION:
Notifications will be sent out no later than Tuesday, February 11th.

QUESTIONS?
