What he said...
Thanks to Collin for a great post about papers at conferences. I'm at NCA this week, about which I will have more to say, but for now let me just comment that the paper deliveries I've seen here were refreshing compared to the conference I attended a few weeks ago, precisely for the reason Collin mentioned. The vast majority of the people here come from communication programs. They are attuned to oral presentation, and it shows in the delivery of their papers.
Oh, and mine went very well yesterday, by the way. Having retooled my standard seminar paper into a conference paper intended to be read to a live audience, I was gratified by the positive and engaged response of that audience.
