Greetings everyone,
Just a reminder to get your proposal in for the International Visual Literacy Association’s (IVLA) upcoming annual conference, which will be held online from September 24-27, 2020.
The theme for this year’s conference is, appropriately, “Visual Literacy in the Virtual Realm.” Some topics you may choose to explore include (but are not limited to):
- The power of visuals in a digital world
- Equity and access with visuals in an online learning environment
- The role of images in screen mediated and/or augmented reality
- Algorithms and an online representation of under-represented groups
- Social media and visual misinformation
- Data visualization
- Appropriating and remixing images
- Visual storytelling
To this end, we have updated the call for proposals page on our website with an updated proposal form. Presentation types include a 7 minute Pecha Kucha presentation (live or pre-recorded), a 20-minute paper presentation, or a 40-minute panel discussion. Proposals are due June 1.
IVLA is also pleased to offer student scholarships to undergraduate and graduate students enrolled full-time at a college or university. See the student scholarships page on our website for more information.
