Call for Submissions: 4th Annual D|M|D Graduate Student Symposium
submissions due: Wednesday, January 12th, 2022
DEADLINE EXTENDED: submissions now due Feb. 1st, 2022
We invite submissions for 15-minute presentations from UO graduate students on any aspect of Data, Media, or Digital Studies for a symposium to be held on Friday, April 1st (week 1 of spring term). The annual Data|Media|Digital Symposium will return, with much anticipation, to our traditional in-person day-long format this year. 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).
The Data|Media|Digital Symposium 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 teaching and academic schedules will allow). In addition to panel sessions, we will have informal time for discussion over food and drinks, a hosted lunch, and a panel featuring presentations by two UO faculty members.
Submission Details: Send your submission to uogradsymposium@gmail.com by the end of day (11:59 PM) on Wednesday, January 12th (during week 2 of winter term) Tuesday, February 1st, 2022 (note: deadline has been extended❗). 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 early February.
