[ecrea] CFP: Not PowerPoint Again! Presenting research on women in popular culture differently.

> Not PowerPoint Again! Presenting research on women in popular 
> culture differently.
>
> University of York, 2nd July 2010
>
> Are you bored of the traditional conference paper? Tired of watching 
> a presenter stand and read off a script while pointing to an ill 
> thought-out PowerPoint display? Nervous of presenting in a way that 
> feels alien or doesn't support your research?
>
> Then come along to our Day School where we are experimenting with 
> different and alternative ways of presenting research.
>
> Our aim for the day is to encourage participants from all 
> disciplines to deliver research in inspiring ways. By thinking of 
> different ways to present our research we can spark new 
> perspectives, imagining different angles and approaches that we may 
> never have considered before. We hope to attract presenters from a 
> range of disciplines and thus intend to question the rigid lines of 
> disciplinary thought that we so often become constrained by. The day 
> school will facilitate this interdisciplinary integration by 
> providing an atmosphere of experimentation and questioning.
>
> We want to encompass presentations from as many disciplines as 
> possible; the topics may include, but are not limited to:
>
> Music
> Sporting women
> Representations of weddings, marriage and divorce
> Women on film and TV
> Magazine culture
> Books
> Gardening
> Representations of religion
> The Internet
>
> We hope to encourage discussions around how presenting differently 
> may lead to thinking differently about research in academia; how 
> presenting differently helps the researcher and the audience to 
> engage with 'papers'; and whether experimental presentations really 
> can have a place in traditional academic circles.
>
> As the day is geared to presenting in innovative and engaging ways 
> you may wish to present your paper using, for example: performance 
> art, workshops, short films, live experiments, music, dance or other 
> interactive methods. The design is entirely up to you.
>
> To take part in this Day School please submit a summary of your 
> presentation or a Storyboard (both of which must outline your 
> proposed topic, the mode of your presentation, how long it will 
> take, and what equipment you will need) to 
> (notpowerpointagain /at/ yahoo.co.uk) by 12th April 2010.
