Presentation Formats
The Conference organising committee is currently inviting proposals to present 30-minute papers, 60-minute workshops and jointly presented 90-minute colloquium sessions. These may describe 'real world' initiatives or they may be academic research papers.
Only one proposal of any format may be accepted per registered presenter. This means that two proposals may be accepted in the case of two registered presenters in a joint presentation, so long as both presenters are registered to attend in person or as a Virtual participant.
Presenters may choose to submit their papers to the International Journal of the Arts in Society at any time before the Conference, and up until one month after the Conference. Participants requiring full refereeing before the Conference must submit their papers at least three months before the Conference.
Plenary speakers may also submit their session details via the Online Submission Process on this page for inclusion in the Conference program.
For further information, contact the Conference Secretariat.
Presentation/Paper Focus: Practice, Research, Theory
Presentations and published papers may have a theory, research or practice focus:
Practice Focus:
A presentation or publication which describes innovative or exemplary practices or
programs in the community, in workplaces, in education institutions and the like.
This may take the form of case studies, narratives, demonstrations or technical reports.
The outcomes of practice may be improved frameworks, concepts, understandings or structures,
such as enhanced capacity through the development of skills, knowledge and operational
effectiveness. This kind of work may involve putting theory and research into practice.
Research Focus:
A presentation or publication reporting upon original research, based on the
systematic collection and analysis of data or facts.
This kind of work may involve the application or testing of theory.
Theory Focus:
A presentation or publication which is broad and generalising in its emphasis,
reflecting upon and systematically referenced against one or more bodies of literature
or systems of thought. Referees for presentation proposals and of submitted papers will
base their assessment upon the kind of focus of a particular presentation or paper.
