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 
exceed 400 words and, if appropriate. 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.

will not be considered. These should be sent by email to

under each theme with the balance being kept open for open submissions
