Communication and Culture includes a thriving cross section of
interdisciplinary
work and practice. In one sense, the diversity of methods,
frameworks, gestures,
places, spaces, movements, visuals, sensations, communities, and languages
questions the foundations of disciplinary knowledge. Yet, this
interdisciplinary pursuit may itself be seen as an intervention into the
foundations of a changing world. How do we locate the fundamentals?
Who decides
what the vital signs are and how do we 'read' them? How do we maintain the
vitality of this pursuit?
Intersections 2011 invites submissions exploring the links between
vitals, vital
signs, and vitality. We are particularly interested in hearing how media,
culture, politics, policy, and technology might enhance our capacity to 'check
up' on and intervene in the complexity of our changing world.
For our 10th Annual Graduate Student Conference in Communication and
Culture, we
have introduced a new format for presenting work, including:
1. Visual Displays
2. Paper Presentations
3. Workshops and Roundtables
We strongly encourage submissions from students at all levels of the MA & PhD.
Collaborative (co-authored, co-facilitated, co-led) work is welcome.
Submissions Due: January 14, 2011 to (intersections2011 /at/ gmail.com)
Contact: Matt Feagan (mfeagan /at/ ryerson.ca) or Zorianna Zurba (zorianna /at/ gmail.com)
