134753: 2015 Book Conference: The Event of the Book - A Common Ground Conference
| 2015 Book Conference: The Event of the Book - A Common Ground Conference Vancouver, Canada University of British Columbia - Robson Square 19-20 October 2015 Proposals for paper presentations, workshops, posters, or colloquia are invited for the Thirteenth International Conference on Books, Publishing, and Libraries being held at the University of British Columbia - Robson Square, in Vancouver, Canada from 19-20 October 2015. We welcome proposals from a variety of disciplines and perspectives that will contribute to the conference discourse. We also encourage faculty and research students to submit joint proposals for paper presentations or colloquia. SPECIAL CONFERENCE FOCUS: "The Event of the Book" The 2015 Book Conference coincides with the Vancouver Writer's Festival. As the social worlds of the book are being evermore mediated by digital modes of production and distribution, how do we make sense of 'The Event of the Book?' At a micro level, the event of the book is the experience of holding a material object. At the macro level, the event of the book is the experience of person-to-person events such as writers' festivals. How might the digital re-energize - 'materialize' - the event of the book? How can the affordances of digital technologies re-configure how we understand the media and social practices of the event of the book at micro and macro levels? The 2015 meeting will feature a special focus on this thought-provoking subject. We welcome open debate, discourse, and research from participants that center on this special topic, as well as any other themes or issues relevant to books, publishing, and libraries. We also encourage faculty and research students to submit joint proposals for paper presentations, colloquia, or panel discussions. CONFERENCE THEMES: Proposals for paper presentations, workshops or colloquia are invited that discuss the broader themes listed below. In addition to the special focus, paper presentations will be grouped into one of the following categories for presentation at the conference: Theme 1: Publishing Practices: Past, Present, and Future Theme 2: Reading, Writing, Literacy, and Learning Theme 3: Books and Libraries Special Focus: The Event of the Book If you are unable to attend the conference in person, you may still join the community and submit your article for peer review and possible publication, upload an online presentation, and enjoy subscriber access to The International Journal of the Book. Proposals for in-person presentations should be submitted by 22 SEPTEMBER 2015 (title and short abstract). Proposals submitted after this day will be accommodated in non-themed sessions at the conference or are eligible for community membership registrations (no attendance at conference required with community membership presentations).

Information and communication technologies (ICTs) are transforming academic research and scholarship-introducing an entirely new platform for knowledge and learning. Alongside cloud computing and virtualization, artificial intelligence and high performance computing are now poised to fundamentally reshape the nature and scope of education.

The University of California at Santa Cruz, Common Ground Publishing, and the e-Learning Conference present "The Future of Education" as the special focus for the Eighth International Conference on e-Learning and Innovative Pedagogies. At this conference, participants will discuss the global knowledge economy and changing labor markets, and focus on the need to fundamentally rethink the way technologies can support new pedagogies, new learning environments, and new institutional configurations.

Third International Conference on Emerging Research Paradigms in Business and Social Science
| Third International Conference on Emerging Research Paradigms in Business and Social Science 24th to 26th November 2015 Dubai, United Arab Emirates Middlesex University Dubai takes great pleasure in announcing the Third International Conference on Emerging Research Paradigms in Business and Social Sciences (ERPBSS-2015). For the nearly 200 delegates representing about 100 international academic institutions the First (2011) and Second (2013) International Conference on ERPBSS provided a forum for inter-disciplinary dialogue and forms of scholastic communication that transcended disciplinary and subject-specific boundaries. In the Third International Conference ERPBSS 2015 we seek to explore "What's Next?". The world faces incredibly complex changes that shape our collective futures. We live in a time of increased mobility and connectedness, as forces of globalization and technological change are redefining the economic, social, political, and physical systems of the world. Inevitably, ideas and knowledge are transcending their traditional disciplinary and geographic boundaries. While this transformation offers increasing opportunities for innovation, it also contributes to increasingly complex global and local challenges that must be met with increasing attention to a more sustainable future. The eight tracks of the ERPBSS 2015 Conference are: 1) Accounting, Finance and Economics 2) Contemporary Psychology 3) Education Training and Development 4) Information and Communication Technology 5) International Law and International Relations 6) Management and Marketing 7) Media, Journalism, and Communication 8) Tourism and Hospitality Through these tracks the conference intention is to bring together perspectives from multiple disciplinary and epistemological perspectives. The design of the conference will provide wider opportunities for dialogue than conferences with narrower scopes. Additionally, this year we are launching the "Research Matters" visual paper session, which offers delegates an opportunity to engage more in-depth with presenters. We also invite delegates to submit proposals for Organised Symposium around a specific topic. Please click here for more details and guidelines for submissions. Important Deadlines Extended Abstract Submission: June 1st, 2015 Early Bird Registration: July 21st, 2015 Normal Registration: July 22nd to 31st October 2015 Late Registration: 27th October to 24th November 2015 Student Registration: 31st October 2015 Full Paper Submission (Optional): 31st October 2015 Conference Email: erpbss2015@mdx.ac Conference Website: www.mdx.ac/conference |
