The University of Minnesota Blog Collective issued a Call for Papers, inviting "submissions for a new online edited collection exploring discursive, visual, and other communicative features of weblogs (rhetorical artifact)."

Topics can include, but are not limited to "Social and Psychological Perspectives; Visual Features, including Interface Design and Navigation; Rhetorical and Linguistic Features of Weblog Discourse; Pedagogical Implications; Intellectual Property; Race, Class, and Gender; Intercultural Communication." I wonder if there will be good submissions on Interface Design and Navigation, as this is a topic that still has a long way to go for blogs as internal business and as acedemic tools.

Abstracts have to be sent in via email by midnight, June 30, 2003, papers will be due in November, and results will be published on a weblog accessible to the public.
