*Call for 15min presentations and artworks*

The organizers of A&SM#3 welcome proposals for 15min presentations and 
artworks that interpret and explore the affective, feely and emotional 
encounters with social media grasped through the following themes:

 1. *Experience*
 2. *Engagement*
 3. *Entanglement *

Presentations and artworks can widely interpret each theme, but 
preference will be given to proposals that respond in two ways.

Firstly, the organizers are particularly interested in creative 
responses (academic and artistic) to *recent social media events* - the 
US election, for example. So proposals might address how the Trump win 
allows us to develop a fresh understanding of shared experiences, 
emotional engagements or new entanglements with social media.

**

Secondly, we ask presenters and artists to consider how their approach 
to affect and social media can be put to work in an *education context*. 
For example, how can the potential of affect theory reach out across 
teaching practices and develop novel understandings of the political 
nature and transformative possibilities of teaching.

The academic part of this call is open to experienced scholars, new 
researchers and postgrad students from across the disciplinary 
boundaries of affect studies and related areas of study interested in 
theorizing and working with emotion and feelings in a social media 
context. We welcome a good mixture of innovative conceptual and 
methodological approaches.

The Sensorium Art Exhibit will interweave the conference proceedings and 
bring it to a close with a special show, alongside free drinks and nibbles.
