Fourth International Symposium on Poetic Inquiry
October 23-26, 2013, Montreal, Quebec, Canada
Theme: Poetic Inquiry: Resonant Voices
The hosts of the Fourth International Symposium on Poetic Inquiry, (Lynn Butler-Kisber, McGill University, Mary Stewart, LEARN Quebec, and John J. Guiney Yallop, Acadia University) welcome proposals for papers to be considered for presentation at the Symposium. We invite submissions that, through a range of lenses, will broaden and deepen our thinking about research, representation, social justice, and inclusion. We encourage texts that illustrate possibilities, advocate for silenced voices, and address challenges and tensions.
This Symposium carries forward a bringing together of international poets and scholars from diverse contexts and interdisciplinary fields to share their work. Established by Monica Prendergast and Carl Leggo at the Centre for Cross-Faculty Inquiry, Faculty of Education, University of British Columbia, the First International Symposium on Poetic Inquiry was held in 2007 in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. The Symposium was hosted two years later by Suzanne Thomas and Ardra Cole in Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island, Canada. It was a collaboration between the Centre for Education Research, Faculty of Education, University of Prince Edward Island, and the Centre for Arts-informed Research, Ontario Institute for Studies in Education, University of Toronto. In 2011, the Symposium moved to Bournemouth University in Bournemouth, England, where it was hosted by Kate Galvin and Les Todres. We are honoured to be organizing the Fourth International Symposium on Poetic Inquiry.
Planning has begun. Sessions will be held at the Avmor Gallery in Old Montreal with other special events planned. The Symposium will open on Wednesday evening, October 23, 2013, with a Welcome Reception and Registration. Thursday and Friday will be full days of sessions, with planned evening events. The conference will conclude on Saturday after morning sessions and a Closing Activity. Consider staying for an extra night, or longer, in beautiful Montreal. We hope that the collaborative sharing at this conference will validate and inspire our poetic practices.
Submissions should include an abstract of not more than 250 words with a brief bio for each participant not exceeding 50 words. Any citations and references should follow the format of APA 6th Edition. Submissions should be sent to: [email protected] The submission deadline is October 31, 2012. Acceptances will be sent to authors in February, 2013.
Please note:
1. In order to respect the established and intimate nature of this symposium, and to continue the practice of only consecutive sessions, the number of accepted papers will be limited.
2. Presenters are limited to participating in one paper only.
