22,23 & 24 August 2012 Conference

 

This is not a theme-based conference and we envisage a broad based interpretation of multimodality. The conference welcomes papers from across different fields of application - including health, work and occupations, art, media and marketing, games and play, education, tourism, and business. Whilst we expect many of the papers will come under the following sub-headings these are not designed to be exhaustive or limiting:

 

Identity

Practical applications of multimodality

Social justice

Methodological challenges

Historical perspectives on multimodality

Video based research

Embodiment and physicality

Developments of concepts and theory

Space and place

Multimodality and ethics

Technology and multimodality

Approaches to analyzing multimodal data

Interdisciplinary multimodal work

 

 

Call for papers

We welcome symposia, individual papers and workshops. 

Abstract submission forms and further information are available at http:mode.ioe.ac.uk/conferences. All abstracts will be peer-reviewed. Deadline 5pm on 13 April 2012.
