Leonardo Education Forum Seeks Proposals for the CAA Chicago 2010 Session

The Leonardo Education Forum is seeking proposals for the CAA Chicago 2010 session in connection with the 98th annual College Art Association Conference. The deadline is June 1, 2009.

CAA guidelines state, "Chairs develop sessions in a manner that is appropriate to the topics and participants of their sessions. A characteristic, though certainly not standard, format includes four or five presentations of twenty minutes each, amplified by audience participation or by a discussant's commentary. Other forms of presentation are encouraged." At this stage we are seeking a proposed topic and format, including suggestions of speakers on a topic.

People interested in proposing and (co)chairing a panel or alternative format which deals with current issues, practices, topics, or problems relevant to the intersections of art, science, and technology are invited to send an abstract (up to 300 words) and a curriculum vita to co-chairs of LEF, Victoria Vesna, Victoria (vesna@arts.ucla.edu), and Nina Czegledy, (czegledy@interlog.com>, by June 1, 2009.

Session proposals will be reviewed by the LEF Chairs. The selected entry will be submitted to CAA with LEF's recommendation by September 1, 2009. If the proposed session is accepted by CAA, the call for papers will be published by the College Art Association and announced via the LEF listserv.
