The Carl Couch Center issues an annual call for research papers and published works (i.e., books or articles) to be considered for David R. Maines Narrative Research Award. The Couch Center welcomes submissions that (1) interpret or address Maines’ pragmatist approaches, (2) apply Maines’ narrative concepts to a social/communication event, (3) develop aspects of Maines’ scholarship in new directions, or (4) integrate the humanistic development of narrative and Maines’ pragmatist conceptual and theoretical direction. Submisions will be evaluated by a Review Committee of four:
Dr. William Rawlins, Ohio University
Dr. Jim Thomas, Northern Illinois University
Dr. Jeff Ulmer, Pennsylvania State University
Dr. Elaine Jenks, West Chester University
