Posted on January 17, 2012 by will. Posted in: Conferences, Latest News

CALL FOR SUBMISSIONS

The members of the organizing committee of Creating Space II invite abstract submissions until January 30, 2012 that consider different approaches to narrative and reflection in health professional education that bridge the arts, humanities, and/or social sciences perspectives and healthcare. Specifically, we are interested in the impact of narrative and reflection, including how different kinds of evidence/ inquiry might bear on questions of the value and contribution of narrative and reflection. We also hope to ignite new creative connections, and possibly collaborations, among participants. We look forward to expanding appreciation and understanding of the possibilities of narrative and arts-based learning, and generating or enhancing a reflective openness in health professional education.

Various presentation approaches may be suggested. Individual and panel presentations, and other creative approaches such as reflective dialogues; reflective readings/ performances, etc. may be proposed. Presentations may be described that involve oral and written narratives, visual narratives, audio, and other performative genres. Submissions for poster presentations are also welcome.
