Call for abstracts
http://drawingandcognition.pressible.org/2012-2
13-15 September 2012, Wimbledon College of Arts, London
Following from last year’s interdisciplinary symposium, we are happy to announce Thinking through Drawing 2012. The event will bring together artists, educators, scientists, medical practitioners, philosophers, engineers, computer scientists, and more, to examine the uses of drawing across Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts and Maths.
How is drawing used within and between these disciplines? What is the relationship between drawing in the Arts and STEM subjects? What is our current understanding of drawing, cognition and learning, and how is it contributing to curriculum development and instructional design in these areas?
Thinking through Drawing 2012 will address these issues, exploring learning and teaching practices and new research directions. The symposium will be an active discursive platform in which we consider the place of drawing across disciplines and professions.
We will be joined by colleagues from the UK, Europe and US in order to share practice and discussion across countries as well as disciplines.
Abstracts can be submitted for papers, workshops or drawn pieces. Work may be selected for inclusion on the online platform, and/or presentation at the event.

Deadline for abstracts: 20 June 2012
Submission guidelines:
Abstracts to be 300-500 words in length with images as appropriate.
Please specify:
- The discipline(s) you represent
