Conference approach

The conference will be highly participatory and interactive, including an evening at Borderlands.

Whilst we will have several internationally and nationally known keynote presenters, the conference sessions will mainly consist of one- to two-hour interactive workshops. We invite expressions of interest to lead such interactive workshops either as individuals, pairs or teams. Please send your Expression of Interest and short description to Bruce.Missingham@arts.monash.edu.au before 30 September 2008.

Others may wish to prepare and present a short paper, based on reflected practice and facilitate or contribute to a discussion around one of the salient themes suggested below. Please send an abstract to Bruce.Missingham@arts.monash.edu.au before 31 August 2008.

Participants who wish to attend and actively participate in (but not lead or facilitate) the workshops are most welcome. See Registration Information for details.
