*Call for presentations and art works*

**

***Affect and Social Media#3*

*education *

*experience*

*engagement *

*entanglement*

* Including the Sensorium Art Show (the sequel)*

**

*Event Date: Thurs 25th May, 2017*

*Venue: University of East London *

*Confirmed keynote: Prof Jessica Ringrose (UCL) *https://iris.ucl.ac.uk/iris/browse/profile?upi=JLRIN58

*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:

  * *Experience*
  * *Engagement*
  * *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 nature 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 second Sensorium Art Show will interweave the conference proceedings and bring it to a close with a special exhibit, alongside drinks, nibbles and a book launch.
