VIA 2011 Conference - Call For Sessions
CALL FOR SESSIONS IS NOW CLOSED
Researchers and practitioners from across disciplines are invited to submit proposals for sessions to be presented at the Visualisation in Archaeology International Conference at the University of Southampton on the 18th to 20th of April 2011. The 2011 Conference marks the
culmination of the three-year VIA project which has sought to explore the philosophical and historical dimensions--and future prospects--of the visual presentation of archaeological knowledge.

Contributors from across disciplines are invited to propose sessions that build on themes exposed in our recent workshops and in our online research showcase. These include, but are not limited to:

- visualisation as research
- visual codes/languages of communication
- ethics and responsibility in visual practice
- audience reception of the visual
- non-specialist engagements with visualisation
- visual economies
- histories of visualisation
- visual literacy/competencies

We encourage innovative formats of presentation and session administration that push the boundaries on typical conference proceedings.  We are keen to see participation from professional visualisers, practitioners, commercial industry, students and scholars across the sciences, humanities and social sciences.  The event will be live-streamed and contributions should be adaptable for publication.
