Speed papers

Speed papers are short 5min presentations composed of four power point slides. The first day of the conference will feature special speed-paper sessions where attending honours and post-graduate students will briefly present their research area, topic and methods (four power-point slides per speaker).

Speed papers provide attendees with the opportunity to introduce themselves to eachother, thus facilitating subsequent opportunities throughout the symposium to generate productive discussion and networking.

The aim of the Speed Paper session on Tuesday October 7th is to help researchers get to know one another’s research interests and expertise and to encourage discussion among peers. It is hoped that a short introduction by all participating academics and artists will facilitate new collaborations and interdisciplinary projects.

The speed paper presentations could be considered like academic speed dating. All post-graduate participants will get five minutes to tell the assembled audience about their research project, about what they are already doing, or what they would like to do.

Speed paper submissions must be made as soon as possible.

 

At the conclusion of the conference, proceedings will be published online.
