To launch the Australia-New Zealand branch of the Institute of Communication
Ethics, a one-day conference will be held immediately before the 2006 ANZCA
annual meeting with the theme, Ethical Communicators. Expressions of
interest and abstracts are invited now from scholars and practitioners on
the ethical dimensions of communication. Deadline: May 30, 2006.

Papers are particularly invited which explore the following areas in
relation to communication practices and professions:

ethical best practice
ethical codes
ethical problems in practice
discourse ethics
public policy implications

As an interdisciplinary group, ICE invites contributions from a wide range
of areas, including applied ethics, communication, computing, cultural
studies, discourse studies, education, information technology, journalism,
law, management communication, marketing, philosophy, psychology, public
relations and sociology.

Keynote speakers are:

Prof Simon Rogerson, Director, Centre for Computing and Social
Responsibility, De Montfort University, UK

Dr Edward Spence, Senior Lecturer, School of Communication, Charles Sturt
University

The format will be informal and will emphasise discussion. To that end,
aside from the keynotes, presenters will be asked to talk briefly (10
minutes) to their papers. Papers will be made available.

Costs is still being finalised, but will be low. We hope to make attendance
free or at a nominal cost for ICE members and those who join at the event.
Lunch will be provided at a small cost.

Please email donald.matheson at canterbury.ac.nz for further information or to
register your interest.

See you there,

Donald Matheson
