Call for Contributions

Fourth International Visual Methods Conference
Background

The University of Brighton is delighted to host the Fourth International Visual Methods Conference. We invite you to help build on the foundations laid down in the Visual Methods series so far. This event will deepen and extend the exchange of ideas and approaches across disciplines and between visual research and visual practices. The conference will include a combination of keynote presentations, panels and papers, alongside workshops, screenings and exhibitions.

We welcome proposals exploring any of these areas:

· Visual Methods and Research Design

· Approaches to analyzing visual data

· Data visualisation

· Researcher created visual data

· Arts based visual research methods

· Visual ethics

· Visual culture and visual methods

· Participatory visual methods

The core of our programme is built on three open strands designed to capture strong proposals:

·  Narrative and Visual Methods

·  Exploring Digital Visual Methodologies

·  Critical Perspectives on Visual Methodologies

We will supplement this with two focused strands engaging directly with local research interests within the University of Brighton. The first is on Digital Storytelling: Form and Practice where the University has a range of research interests and a second exploring the visual navigation and articulation of place.

We therefore invite scholars and other visual practitioners to submit proposals forpanels, papers or other types of contributions in one of the conference themes.
Instructions for Panels

A panel will comprise a chair or commentator and either a call for three or four presentations, or a confirmed set of panellists. Each panel will be provisionally allocated a 90 minutes session in the programme, which will be confirmed when a full panel has been registered.

It should include an email address for proposals to be sent to, supported by a short biography of the person(s) submitting and chairing the panel (up to 200 words, including affiliation and recent publications, activities). Panel chairs are responsible for selecting material for their sessions. Alternatively, it is possible to submit complete panel proposals, in this case as well as a title and abstract for the panel, paper titles and abstracts should be presented, along with biographical details of all presenters. Each Panel session will be given final approval by the Programming Committee.

The deadline for panel submissions is 16th January 2015. Late proposals will not be considered. These should be sent by email to (VisualMethods /at/ brighton.ac.uk). Submissions should be double-spaced and in Verdana Font no less than size 12.
