Dear Members of the PC,
We now have both keynotes lined up with titles and abstracts.
Sarah Kenderdine will deliver the opening keynote under the title
“Two-Fold Revolutions: Computational Museology in the Age of
Experience”. The closing keynote will be held by Claire Fernandez and is
entitled: "Contesting power in the digital age: the role of civil
society in Europe." We are really excited about both of them.
We are currently working on the program and have managed to group some
nice thematic units for the long papers; we will proceed next week with
the short papers. Workshops are already online and panels don’t request
much decision-making since they occupy one full slot each.
One topic that we have left unaddressed is the reviewer award. Several
reviewers have received the same number of nominations for the reviewer
award, and only one of them can receive the award. If two people from
the PC felt inclined to take the matter in their own hands, it would
really be great (not that we would not want to do it, but we would
really like a fresh look on submissions and reviews). We would send you
the list of the reviewers that were nominated (PC members excluded) and
ask you to select one by looking at their review. If you would like, you
could also present the awardee with a small eulogy during the
conference. Please let us know what you think about this suggestion.
All best,
Anne and Toma
