The Department of Art History and Communications Studies and The Culture of Cities Project at McGill University invite proposals for an interdisciplinary conference on Print Culture and the City. This conference will seek to stimulate dialogue and debate on the relationship between print culture and urban life. Papers may address a variety of forms of urban print culture: periodicals, newspapers, advertisements, flyers, books, broadsheets, calendars, posters, maps, etc.

Papers are expected to be no more than 20 minutes in duration. An abstract of 300-350 words should be submitted by September 1st. Potential presenters are asked to submit a short biography (2-3 lines) and full contact information with their proposals.

The organizers intend that this conference will allow substantial amounts of time for discussion. Therefore, a limited number of papers will be accepted.

Send abstracts to Jessica Wurster at the address/email below.
