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.
To submit a panel proposal we invite you to provide a title and abstract 
addressing one of the conference themes. The panel abstract must not

person(s) submitting and chairing the panel (up to 200 words, including

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.
