BEA 2011 Conference Chair Mike Bruce, our first division chair, reminds us that there’s less than a month left before submissions of panel sessions, demonstrations and workshop proposals and paper submissions are due to the online system. Calls for the combined deadline of September 15th can be found at this link for paper and panel proposals. On this page you can find the calls for paper and panel submissions, as well as, links to the “Panelists seeking Panels” and “Panels seeking Panelists” listings.
This year’s spotlight is “BEA:HD” but the convention is open to all programming ideas. Mike met with most of the divisions during the 2010 convention, and he also sent this narrative to divisions recently to share his thoughts on ways to interpret the spotlight.
CONVENTION SPOTLIGHT
Let your creative juices flow for this year’s spotlight…..BEA:HD. Technological transformations have major implications for media professionals, audiences, educators, and students. HD has become a metaphor for the rapidly changing media landscape. The HD paradigm encourages critical examination of all aspects of media education-technology, content, research, pedagogy. HD offers multiple interpretations-from high definition to hyper-dynamic-and we encourage BEA members to creatively interpret BEA:HD.
How to submit: Submissions are made on the BEA2011 All-Academic site which can be found on this link. NOTE: A new user name and password must be created each year. If you set up an account last year, you will need to create a NEW account for BEA 2011.
