CALL FOR POSTER SESSIONS at College Art Association's 105th Annual Conference, Feb 15-18, 2017

CAA invites individual members to submit abstracts for Poster Sessions at the 105th Annual Conference, taking place February 15–18, 2017, in New York. Poster Sessions—presentations displayed on bulletin boards by an individual for small groups—usually include a brief narrative paper mixed with illustrations, tables, graphs, and similar presentation formats. The poster display can intelligently and concisely communicate the essence of the presenter’s research, synthesizing its main ideas and directions. Colorado State University has published useful general information on Poster Sessions. Poster Sessions offer excellent opportunities for extended informal discussion and conversation focused on topics of scholarly or pedagogical research. Posters are displayed for the duration of the conference, so that interested persons can view the work even when the presenters are not physically present. Poster Sessions take place in a high-traffic area, in close proximity to the Book and Trade Fair and conference rooms. Proposals are due by Thursday, September 15, 2016. Send all materials to Katie Apsey, CAA manager of programs. A working group of the Annual Conference Committee selects Poster Sessions based on individual merit and space availability at the conference. (Approximately ten posters may be accepted.) Accepted presenters must maintain their membership status through the conference.
