Welcome to the 40-year anniversary symposium of VAKKI ry on February 6-7, 2020!
The symposium is arranged under the theme of Workplace Communication.
Workplace communication comprises many different forms, such as texts, service encounters in different professional fields, face-to-face meetings as well as digital interaction. The common nominator to these settings is that they are connected with professional roles and identities and interwoven with institutional practices.
We call for presentations, posters, and workshops that interconnect for example with the following topics related to workplace communication:
- Working life communication in the context of leadership, management, marketing and technology
- Identities, relationships and interaction
- Multimodality and visuality
- Digital media
- Terminological research and terminology work
- Languages, discourses and communication skills in working life and academia
- Methodological and ethical challenges in the research of working life communication
- Topics can be approached from the perspective related to the study of language or discourse, technical communication, organizational communication, strategic communication or teaching of these.
The working languages of the symposium are Finnish, Swedish, English and German. Presenters are invited to submit their papers after the symposium to the VAKKI publication, which is a JUFO 1-level reviewed open access publication. The publication will published at the end of 2020.
Participants may contribute with a presentation (20 min + 5 min discussion) or present a poster. We also welcome proposals for workshop topics. The purpose of the workshops is to provide participants with a less formal setting to exchange intellectual ideas and to share practical experiences on focused topics.
