We are delighted to share the Call for Papers for the IVSA 2022 Annual Conference with you. Our theme – Expanding the visual field: New developments in scholarship, arts and activism – is intended to focus our attention on the emergence of innovative and experimental developments in our approaches to engaging with the visual. Visual sociology is increasingly relevant to our understanding of our increasingly networked world, where advanced technology and the ubiquity of digital networks have radically shifted both our ways of visualising the world and the ways that we engage with one another. Indeed, what counts as ‘the visual’ has itself expanded from static or delimited forms such as photographs or film towards hybrid networked and digitised visual modes.
IVSA CONFERENCE 2022 – SAVE THE DATES!
SEPTEMBER 15-18, 2022 – GATHERTOWN (ONLINE)
We are delighted to announce that our annual conference will take place from September 15-18, 2022 online in Gathertown. We are also exploring the possibility of establishing a series of physical conference ‘hubs’, Covid restrictions permitting.
The IVSA is governed by its Executive Board of Directors (BOD), which consists of President, Vice-President, Treasurer, Technology Advisor, Visual Studies Editor, Graduate Student Representative, and nine elected Board Members. The VS Editor and Technology Advisor are nominated by the President and ratified by the BOD with a majority vote.
The position of Treasurer with a 3-year term of service is now open for nominations.
