Dear Colleagues,
I hope that this email finds you in warm spirits.
This is a warm reminder that the South African Research Chair in Science Communication, The Academic Citizen, and the South African Journal of Science, invite proposals/abstracts for the upcoming virtual symposium, Sound Matters: Interdisciplinary Explorations Into Audio Knowledge Production. This symposium brings together and explores interdisciplinary perspectives on how the mode of audio offers new possibilities in the formation, articulation, and dissemination of academic and/or scientific knowledge. We welcome proposals of individual or collaborative contributions, panels or showcases of audio scholarship from any discipline, with a focus on themes such as but not limited to:
- The ways in which research praxis incorporates audio,
- How audio can be linked to principles of open access, transformation, and ethical research praxis,
- Data and its analysis in audio form,
- Presentation of new empirical findings in audio-recorded talking formats,
- The possibilities for designing peer-review and publishing modalities in audio.
To participate, please submit a 300-word proposal and a 100-word biography in one document to fumanim@sun.ac.za by 9 October 2023. For more information about the symposium, please view the full call here or listen here. We welcome proposals from all over the world and participation in the symposium is free. If you have any queries, please do not hesitate to contact me.
Thank you so much and we look forward to receiving your proposals.
