[Commlist] International Visual Methods Conference - Final Call for Host in 2023

This is a final reminder for the open call.
The International Visual Methods Conference has been held every 2 years 
since 2009. The conferences have demonstrated the enthusiasm of an 
interdisciplinary community of visual scholars and practitioners to come 
together for an international event to share ideas and techniques across 
disciplinary boundaries. The 2019 conference was hosted successfully by 
the College of Communications and Public Relations at the National 
University of Political Studies, Bucharest, Romania from 16th to 19th 
July 2019. It followed on from conferences hosted in Singapore (2017), 
Brighton (2015) and Wellington (2013).  The 2021 Conference will be 
hosted by Cape Peninsula University of Technology and District Six 
Museum in Cape Town during December 2021. The Visual Methods 
International Steering Committee includes academics and practitioners 
from Europe, North America and Australasia. It deferred a decision on 
the host for the 2023 Conference at its meeting in Bucharest. We are now 
inviting Expressions of Interest in an opportunity to host the 8th 
International Visual Methods conference in 2023. As the 2021 Conference 
will be hosted in the global south our expectation is that the 2023 
conference will be held in Europe or North America. The deadline for 
responses is 31st October.

Dunford via (Mark /at/ Digi-Tales.org.uk). Proposals should include: •	The 
names, positions and contact details for all the proposed organiser’s
