Call for Presentations
The Union for Democratic Communications invites proposals from artists, activists and media scholars, for presentations, roundtables, workshops and panels that examine and critique the relationship between forces of enclosure and emancipation, especially in the context of the global city (broadly defined). Other topics relevant to democratic communication are also very welcome.
Proposals are invited for both individual papers and panel sessions.
Individual paper proposals should include a title, a brief (maximum 250 word) abstract of the presentation, and contact information including name, title, institution, mailing address, telephone, fax and email address.
Panel session proposals should include titles, brief (maximum 250 word) abstracts and contact information for each panel member. They should also include a short (maximum 100 word) description of the panel theme and contact information for the panel chair.
Proposals from artists for individual presentations or panel sessions should also include samples of the work to be presented.
Please identify any audio-visual requirements in your proposal as we may not be able to accommodate later requests.
All proposals should be submitted by email to udc2007@sfu.ca in the form of a Word or PDF attachment. Hard copies may also be sent to:
