Exhaling so that we can catch our breath and sing: Reflections on issues inherent in publishing race-related communication research

• In Event: Back Down Memory Lane: Explorations of Absence, Presence, and Institutionalized Public Memory

Abstract

Abstract
This essay features a cyberspace discussion involving four communication scholars reflecting a variety of perspectives based on race, gender, age, regionality, and tenure within the academy. By featuring diverse voices coming together in concert, we dissect the implications of issues raised in publishing race-related communication research in an online discussion that lays bare our reactions to, perceptions of, and experiences with publishing race-related scholarship.
