[Commlist] Visible Evidence XXVIII - cfp

The portals for the submission (with some additional suggestions for 
topics) for the Visible Evidence XVIII conference (/Images of History/) 
to take place in Gdansk this summer are unveiled below. Our vision is 
that the meeting will be a space which is rigorous and non-patriarchal, 
solid but fluid, safe but inclusive and bold. We do hope you will join 
us in person, or online if needed.

As mentioned previously, and in accordance with the VE traditions, there 
will be a number of shared plenary sessions with keynotes *Elizabeth 
Cowie, Michael Renov , Malgorzata Radkiewicz* and myself. We can confirm 
that the very brilliant and controversial filmmaker *Penny Lane* will be 
one of our special guests.

Please note that the conference will strive to be as COVID safe as 
possible, and we will ask all attendees to present vaccination 
certificates at the registration. All the rooms will be fully 
ventilated.  We will have as many events outside including receptions 
and some open-air screenings. Our aspiration is to have a lot of fun as 
well as a serious scholarly debate as in these grim times we need to 
celebrate our freedoms and our tenacity. Your registration will include 
lunches and coffee, and wine receptions every evening of the conference, 
including one at the famous European Solidarity Centre where you will 
both watch classic documentaries from the period of Solidarity but also 
meet some of its heroes in person and toast their courage!

  In terms of the online participation, we invite the pre-constituted 
panels to think in terms of two people ‘in person’ and two online for 
example. All plenary events will be streamed. Those who intend to come 
in person, please mark on your application if you are happy to chair a 
panel. We aim to be as inclusive as possible in every way. The deadline 
for the submissions is *28^th February and we will let you know by 28^th 
March at the latest* if your proposal has been accepted – and we do want 
to accept as many colleagues as we can.

We will consider any application for a registration fee reduction or a 
full fee waiver if need be, particularly for the research students and 
early career researchers.

We will be sharing some suggestions for accommodation in due course but 
just to encourage you:  Gdansk, and the area around it, is a beautiful 
holiday resort, so the accommodation of every kind is plentiful, 
although it is advisable to book early.
