What is Audiovisual Thinking?
Audiovisual Thinking is a pioneering forum where academics and educators ca=
n articulate, conceptualize and disseminate their research about audiovisua=
l culture through video.

International in scope and multidisciplinary in approach, the purpose of Au=
diovisual Thinking is to develop and promote academic thinking in and about=
 all aspects of audiovisuality and audiovisual culture. Advised by a board =
of leading academics and thinkers in the fields of audiovisuality, communic=
ation and the media and hosted by Copenhagen University, the journal seeks =
to set the standard for academic audiovisual essays now and in the future. =
We study, teach and research the moving image, media and audiovisuality, ye=
t we rarely mediate in these same forms and media. Audiovisual Thinking hop=
es to change this.

Video submissions are welcome from all fields of study and, as one would ex=
pect, the main criteria for submissions are that the discussion and thinkin=
g are conveyed through audiovisual means.

Please visit us on www.audiovisualthinking.org to watch academic videos and=
 submit your own.
