CFP: Data|Media|Digital Graduate Student Symposium
Call for Submissions
University of Oregon’s Eighth Annual
Data | Media | Digital Graduate Student Symposium
Submissions Due: Tuesday, January 28, 2025
We invite submissions from UO graduate students for 15-minute presentations on any aspect of data, media, or digital studies for a symposium in the UO Knight Library DREAM Lab on Friday, April 11, week 2 of the spring term at the Data|Media|Digital Symposium.
D|M|D is an opportunity to showcase the exciting multidisciplinary work produced by UO graduate students across campus. In addition to panels, we will have informal discussions over food and drinks, a hosted lunch, and a panel of short presentations by UO faculty working in these areas. We hope student participants will be able to attend the full day of panel sessions.
Presentations can be based on work in progress or research and work in the final stages of development. Proposals should specify clear scholarly or pedagogical goals and should articulate how the design or argument of a data/media/digital project might address those goals.
Any kind of data, media, or digital studies project is welcome. If you aren’t sure if your project fits our call, then it probably does, but please get in touch, and we can offer you our guidance.
Send your submission to nmcc.uo@gmail.com by 11:59 p.m. PT on Tuesday, January 28. Complete submissions will include the following:
- Your (preferred) name (in the body of your email)
- Your presentation title (in the body of your email)
- Your home department at UO (in the body of your email)
- Your degree program (Master’s, Doctoral) and your anticipated graduation term/year
- A list (or selected list) of previous academic conference/event presentations (if this will be your first academic presentation outside of a class, that is okay and this will not impact the review of your submission; we request this information for our planning)
- A separate PDF document with a 250-500 word abstract (or summary description of your project), the title of your presentation at the top, and your name. Please make sure this is a separate attachment and is not pasted in to the body of the email.
Decisions about all submissions will be shared in February.
