About This Journal
CTAM JOURNAL MISSION STATEMENT
The Communication and Theater Association of Minnesota Journal (CTAMJ) is the scholarly journal of the Communication and Theater Association of Minnesota (CTAM). The journal is an outlet for articles related to issues of discipline-related importance including articles discussing innovative teaching methods. All theoretical and methodological approaches are welcome.
CTAMJ encourages contributions from scholars and practitioners, who comprise all segments of the journal's readership, including K-12 educators, forensic and theater coaches, graduate school, community college, and college or university groups. The journal welcomes theoretical and applied articles from both the theater and communication disciplines. Capable scholars in the appropriate field will blindly review all general articles.
No work will be accepted or rejected purely on the basis of its methodology or subject. Author sex, race, ethnic background, geographical location or work affiliation (secondary/college level, department, etc.) of the author(s) are never considered in making editorial judgments. The demands of the disciplines of speech communication and theater are key factors in the editorial judgments made. All editorial decisions attempt to balance these demands with the needs and interests of the journal's readers.
The journal is guided by three key principles:
- To provide an outlet for the expression of diverse ideas.
- To publish high quality scholarship in the disciplines of Speech Communication and Theater.
- To meet the journal-related needs of CTAM and its members.
Our journal is intentionally inclusive of students and early-career scholarship to support their successful publication. First-generation and historically-marginalized scholars are encouraged to submit to our journal. We want to support your success in academia!
The priority deadline for submission to our next issue is December 31.
For questions and manuscript submission, please contact the editor of the CTAM Journal: Dr. Tanya Miller, tmiller@parkrapids.k12.mn.us
