[ecrea] IVSA Conference 2011 - Call for Panels

> IVSA 2011
> The University of British Columbia
> Vancouver, July 6-8
>
> Visual Research as a Collaborative and 
> Participatory Practice is the theme of the 2011 
> IVSA Conference. Considering visual research as 
> collaborative and participatory suggests new 
> ways of working together, and offers 
> opportunities to think produc­tively about 
> alternative inquiry practices, analytical 
> frames, and dissemination possibilities. The 
> theme draws attention to the complex, 
> contradictory, and constantly negotiated 
> networks of relations that constitutes visual 
> research, and it offers an opportunity to 
> reengage with sensation, memory, and perception 
> in visual research inquiries and dissemination practices.
>
> CALL FOR PANELS
> We invite panel proposals that:
>
>
> Explore and theorize visual research as a 
> collaborative and participatory practice
>
> Consider the methodological and ethical 
> challenges that collaboration and participation present.
>
> Provide examples of how visual researchers 
> worked collaboratively with individuals from a 
> range of subject and locational positions within the academy and elsewhere.
>
> Explore visual methodological approaches 
> including photo-elicitation, reflexive 
> photography, photo novella, photovoice, 
> participatory video methods, video diaries, etc.
>
> Problematize issues of power, ownership, 
> legitimization, and accountability in visual research
>
> Pursue social justice agendas through the use of 
> visual intervention, art intervention, or participatory research
>
> Explore participatory or collaborative affordances of digital media forms
>
> Interrogate strategies for decolonizing analysis and reporting processes
>
> 1. Panel proposals must include a title and a 
> short abstract of 300 words. Panel proposals 
> should also include a short biography (50 words 
> maximum). Anticipated technical requirements should be noted.
> 2. Panel proposals must be submitted via email 
> to 
> <mailto:(submissions /at/ ivsa2011.com)>(submissions /at/ ivsa2011.com) 
> with the subject heading: IVSA 2011 Panel 
> Proposal. For those who wish to fax proposals, 
> please fax them to Dr. Donal O?Donoghue at +1- 
> 604-822-4714. The closing date for panel submissions is December 10, 2010.
> 3. Notification of accepted panels will appear 
> on the IVSA website along with the call for individual papers on
> December 20, 2010. As has been the case in 
> previous years, space will be held in the 
> program for the presentation of work that does 
> not necessarily intersect with the conference 
> theme, but that is nonetheless important to the 
> field. Thus, both panel and paper proposals that 
> fall outside of the 2011 theme are welcomed and 
> will be given equal consideration.
> 4. Travel and accommodation information for the 
> conference will be posted on the IVSA website. 
> At UBC, we offer a wide range of private or 
> shared accommodation options. In the meantime, 
> the following tourist site provides some basic 
> visitor information and features a nice little 
> ?day in the life? video presentation: 
> <http://vancouver.ca/visitors.htm>http://vancouver.ca/visitors.htm.

> 5. Please do not hesitate to direct any general 
> questions you may have regarding the upcoming 
> conference to <mailto:(info /at/ ivsa2011.com)>(info /at/ ivsa2011.com).
