Leonardo Call for Abstracts
Leonardo Abstracts Service (LABS)
Bi-annual Submission Deadlines (on-going): 30 June and 31 December
Leonardo Abstracts Service (LABS), consisting of the English-language database, Spanish-language database and Chinese-language database, is a comprehensive collection of Ph.D., Masters and MFA thesis abstracts on topics in the emerging intersection between art, science and technology. Individuals receiving advanced degrees in the arts (visual, sound, performance, text), computer sciences, the sciences and/or technology that in some way investigate philosophical, historical or critical applications of science or technology to the arts are invited to submit abstracts of their theses for consideration.
The LABS project does not seek to duplicate existing thesis databases but rather to give visibility to interdisciplinary work that is often hard to retrieve from existing databases. English language abstracts are available on-line at Pomona College, Claremont, California, so that interested persons can access them at no cost. Spanish language abstracts are also available through Universitat Oberta de Catalunya, Artnodes, in Barcelona. Abstracts will be reviewed for inclusion twice a year. The databases will include only approved and filed thesis abstracts. Abstracts of theses filed in prior years may also be submitted for inclusion.
The English LABS, Spanish LABS and Chinese LABS international Peer Review Panels review abstracts for inclusion in their respecitve databases. In addition to publication in the databases, a selection of abstracts chosen by the panels for their special relevance will be published quarterly in Leonardo Electronic Almanac (LEA), and authors of abstracts most highly ranked by the panel will also be invited to submit an article for publication consideration in the journal Leonardo.
