media ecology conference proposal deadline extended
Posted by Liz Lawley
The deadline for proposals for the Media Ecology Association conference has been extended to December 15th. The
extensions announcement has details on the conference and the kinds of proposals they're looking for. Weblogs and social software are an area the conference organizers are particularly interested in.
One panel proposal that has been submitted (and I suspect has a good chance of being accepted) is one that I'm chairing on "Weblogs and Cross-Disciplinary Communication." On the panel with me will be M2M co-authors Clay Shirky and Seb Paquet, along with
Jill Walker, and
Alex Halavais. That alone should be reason enough for you to want to attend (or, better, yet, to propose your own presentation).
Here's our abstract:
While weblogs have been touted as an emerging publishing medium, academic weblogs are often used more for communication and dialog with other scholars and interested readers than they are for traditional broadcast publishing. Unlike mailing lists, weblogs combine broad accessibility (unhindered by subscription requirements) with clear authorial voice on the part of the weblog writer(s). The panel will discuss the opportunities and problems presented by weblogs as a tool for cross-disciplinary communication and collaboration.
And while Rochester's weather may be slightly...well...inclement...at the moment, in mid-June it's quite wonderful here.
