Return to this page for subsequent rounds in the call for papers.

Presentation Options

Conference participants may submit a proposal for 30 minute or 60 minute presentations, jointly presented 90 minute colloquium sessions, or a Virtual submission.

Presenters may choose to submit their papers to the International Journal of the Arts in Society any time before the conference, and up until one month after the conference. Participants requiring full refereeing before the conference must submit their papers at least three months before the conference.

Only one proposal of any format can be accepted per registered presenter. This means that two proposals may be accepted in the case of two registered presenters in a joint presentation, so long as both presenters are registered to attend in person.

For further information, contact the conference secretariat.

Presentation/Paper Focus: Practice, Research, Theory

Participants in each stream will represent a mix of foci: practice, research and theory.

Practice Focus:
A presentation or publication which describes innovative or exemplary practices or programs (including performances and exhibitions) in the community, in workplaces, in educational and cultural institutions and other alternative and “non-sanctioned” art spaces. These may take the form of case studies, narratives, demonstrations or technical reports. The outcomes of practice may be improved frameworks, concepts, understandings or structures, such as enhanced capacity through the development of skills, knowledge and operational effectiveness. This kind of work involves putting theory and research into practice.

Research Focus:
A presentation or publication reporting upon original research, based on the systematic collection and analysis of data or evidence for assertions or statements – textual, aural, visual or performative. This kind of work may involve the application or testing of theory.

Theory Focus:
A presentation or publication which is broad and generalising in its emphasis, reflecting upon and systematically referenced against one or more bodies of literature or systems of thought.

Referees of submitted papers will base their assessment upon the kind of focus of a particular presentation or paper.
