Call for Contributions: CHASE Encounters Conference Autumn 2024 - Temporal Tapestries: Weaving Memory, Time, and Future Visions in Research
Tuesday 26 & Wednesday 27 November | Online
Call for Contributions
The theme for this year’s autumn Encounters, Temporal Tapestries: Weaving Memory, Time, and Future Visions in Research, places an emphasis on the interconnectedness of past, present, and future within research practice, highlighting a rich, complex exploration of how different temporal perspectives influence academic inquiry.
This conference invites CHASE-funded researchers to consider and engage with the theme in a variety of ways, whether by investigating the layers of memory, examining the ways in which time structures knowledge production, or envisioning futures through academic, artistic, or creative practices. The idea of ‘weaving’ suggests the blending of these timelines into a coherent whole, challenging participants to consider time as both linear and nonlinear, fragmented and cohesive. The conference aims to foster a multidisciplinary dialogue on how these dynamics shape and influence research practices across fields.
The broad and interpretive nature of the theme invites submissions from a range of disciplines and encourages you to explore diverse landscapes of time. How does the past inform present research? How are future visions shaped by historical understanding? What methodologies can best capture the complex relationships between these temporal frames? We welcome innovative and interdisciplinary contributions that explore how time frames intellectual, creative, and practical inquiry.
