Deadline: 1 December 2009
With this call for submissions, we hope to encourage colleagues from the arts but also from many other relevant disciplines to consider contributing to the Claiming Creativity Symposium.
Submissions should be written to stimulate dialogue and relate to a specific topic area, keeping in mind the overarching theme of the symposium. Each topic has two or three sub-topic discussion foci. Please specify the sub-topic area of your proposal. We invite submissions in the form of paper or oral presentations, workshops, and panel discussions. Other innovative formats will also be considered.
A special feature of Claiming Creativity is the symposium online forum, which will be available beginning 18 January 2010 and will lead into the Chicago event. Successful proposal abstracts will be posted to the online forum for discussion by other symposium participants. These online discussions will provide additional ideas for special sessions of the symposium in Chicago designed around the web forum discourse. A journal of symposium findings will be published through one of Columbia College's academic presses.
The deadline for receipt of submissions is Tuesday, 1 December 2009. Applicants will be informed Monday, 18 January 2010.
