[Gabriella Coleman]

***


In preparation for The Participatory
Condition<http://www.media.mcgill.ca/en/content/international-colloquium-participatory-condition>,
an international colloquium we will be hosting on campus and at the
Musée d'Art Contemporain next November, Media at McGill welcomes
expressions of interest to participate in Colloquium Research
Delegations from graduate students and postdoctoral scholars in the
Dept. of Art History and Communications Studies.

You are invited to participate in one of two ways:

1)      as a research relegate, heading a team of colleagues assigned to
a particular colloquium section

2)      as a team member of the research delegation

Research delegates and team members will be assigned to one of the
following sections: Publics and Participation; Surveillance and
Legislation; The Participatory Condition; Gaming; Art and Design

As part of their responsibilities, research delegates will:

-          Put together a team of graduate and postdoctoral researchers
who will participate in the delegate's activities for the assigned
section. The team can be composed of both AHCS and non-AHCS researchers,
primarily at the PhD or postdoctoral level.

-          Contribute informed postings to the colloquium website, blog
and social media sites before, during, and after the colloquium (from c.
Oct. 15 to Dec. 10, 2013).

-          Attend the colloquium in its entirety, and take detailed
notes of the assigned sessions.

-          Pose the first formal question(s) to the panelists during the
Q&A session with the public.

-          Present a critical account of the assigned section in a
post-colloquium seminar to be held with fellow team members, research
delegates and members of the colloquium committee (early December 2013).

-          Following the colloquium, research delegates are also invited
to submit a text (c. 5000 words), potentially co-authored with their
team members, for a peer-reviewed publication on Media at McGill's website.

Expressions of interest to become a colloquium research delegate or team
member should be sent to
tamar.tembeck at mcgill.ca<mailto:tamar.tembeck at mcgill.ca> by May 29th,
2013. Please give a first and second choice for the colloquium section
to which you would like to be assigned, and specify if you would like to
be a research delegate or a delegation team member.

If you would like to get involved as research delegate, please include
the following in your email:

-          A short biography (100 words), the title of your research
project, and the name of your supervisor(s)

-          A brief description of how the colloquium relates to your
research

-          A list of potential team members (optional)
Up to 5 research delegates will be nominated for the colloquium, and
each delegate will be awarded a $250 honorarium.
