Call for Submissions
University of Oregon’s Third Annual
Data|Media|Digital Graduate Student Symposium
Thur Apr 8 (afternoon session) + Fri Apr 9 (morning and early afternoon sessions)
Proposal Submission Deadline: Thursday, January 14, 2021
We invite submissions for 15-minute presentations from UO graduate students on any aspect of Data/Media/Digital studies for a symposium to be held over three sessions on Thursday April 8th and Friday April 9th (this is week 2 of the Spring 2021 term). The annual Data/Media/Digital Symposium will be held this year virtually (though if an opportunity arises for some or all of our panels to be a hybrid in-person and virtual model, we will be in touch with applicants well before the symposium date). Presentations can be based on work in progress or on research and work in the final stages of development. Proposals should specify clear scholarly or pedagogical goals, and should articulate how the design or argument of a data/media/digital project might address those goals. Any kind of data studies, media studies, or digital studies project is welcome (if you aren’t sure if your project fits our call, then it probably does, but please get in touch and we can offer you our guidance).
This event will be an opportunity to showcase the exciting multi-disciplinary work being produced by graduate students across campus. We look forward to sustaining cross-disciplinary conversations and building inter-departmental community over the course of the day. To facilitate this goal, student participants are expected to attend all three panel sessions comprising the symposium (to the extent that their academic schedule allows).
Please send your submission to nmcc.uo@gmail.com by the end of day (11:59PM) on Thursday January 14th. Submissions should include two documents (as separate PDFs): a submission file and your CV. Your submission PDF must include: your name, your UO department or program, your presentation title, and a brief 250-to-500 word abstract (or executive summary) of your proposed presentation. Decisions about all submissions will be conveyed by Monday, February 1st, 2020.
