CFP: Resilience, Resistance, Renovation, and Rebirth Conference | Northern Arizona University

Deadline January 31, 2021

Website 

This spring Northern Arizona University College of Arts and Letters will host the Resilience, Resistance, Renovation, and Rebirth Conference. Proposals for panels, individual talks, and performances that address this time in quarantine as a time of inspiration, innovation, and change from all disciplines and fields of study are welcome.

What a year? SARS CoV-2 has hit us hard and forced us into a new normal. What is this normal now in the sciences, technology, engineering, arts, and mathematics (or STEAM)? What has happened to your work, research, and lives that would not have happened without the interruption of the SARS CoV-2 virus? How was the pandemic a spark for innovation for that cultural change, poem, industrial design, theorem, performance, medical discovery or whatever you and your team have discovered? Looking ahead, where do you see taking this idea? None of us are the same as we were twelve months ago. Tell us about how this pandemic has shaped your ideas. It could be a response to the virus, maybe about the isolation driven by the lockdown, or some other issue brought on by the pandemic. 

Please submit a title and abstract (300 words maximum) describing your panel or presentation, and email to steamconference2021@gmail.com by January 31, 2021. Please include your name and institutional affiliation (if any) and those of any co-presenters. Accepted submissions will be announced by March 1, 2021.
