CAVRN Post-Conference for the 2024 International Communications Association Conference
We are excited to announce the Call for Papers for an upcoming post-conference of the 2024 International Communications Association (ICA) Conference at the University of Sydney, on the 25th June 2024. The post-conference is hosted by the Critical Augmented and Virtual Reality Research Network (CAVRN), a scholarly network established in 2022 dedicated to connecting academic researchers in the rapidly growing field of Virtual Reality (VR) and Augmented Reality (AR) technologies with attention to their social, political and economic contexts.
With the introduction of the ‘Metaverse’ into popular lexicon, there has been a significant surge in interest in VR and AR technologies in popular culture, art, media, and academia. The CAVRN post-conference aims to provide a platform for researchers to present their latest findings and engage in critical discussions about the future of this emerging field.
We invite researchers from various disciplines, including but not limited to communication, media studies, sociology, psychology, education, and computer science, to submit their research papers on the following topics:
The social, cultural, and political implications of VR and AR technologies
Ethical considerations and challenges in the development and use of VR and AR
The role of VR and AR in shaping the future of communication and media
The impact of VR and AR on education and other industries
The potential of VR and AR for storytelling, content creation, and artistic expression
The post-conference will feature a combination of presentations, roundtable discussions, and hands-on experiences with VR applications in the University of Sydney VR Lab. We encourage submissions that incorporate innovative research methodologies, interdisciplinary approaches, and critical perspectives.
Successful submissions will be invited to submit full posts to CAVRN, a scholarly publication for critical work on VR and AR technologies. CAVRN publishes commentaries, literature reviews, interviews and book reviews online on a fortnightly basis. CAVRN posts are also published in a biannual open access Syllabus. Submissions for the postconference should be guided by past CAVRN posts in theme, content and scope.
Current Ph.D. students are encouraged to apply and will be assessed as part of a doctoral student track. All successful students will receive mentorship on writing for CAVRN and will present their work at a HDR Consortium on the morning of June 25th, 2024.
Submission Guidelines:
Abstracts should be 400-600 words (not including references).
Please include a cover page with the following information: title of the paper, author(s) name(s), affiliation(s), and contact information (email address)Submissions should be formatted in Microsoft Word or PDF format and sent as an email attachment to conference@cavrn.org
