International Quilt Study Center invites scholars and artists to submit proposals for papers and panel presentations that explore the full breadth of contexts, both formal and informal, in which the quiltmaker's art is learned, studied, applied and handed on.
This will include but is not limited to: historical to contemporary, local to global, mainstream to alternative, self-taught to apprentice, church group to cooperative, workshop to academic coursework.
They also encourage participants to explore how quiltmakers teach and learn from quilts, how the tactile resonance of quilts influences the education of the women and men who work with them, how changing technology imposes changes in quilt and textile craft education.
Though papers relating to the symposium theme will be given preferential consideration, papers concerning any aspect of quilt studies will be considered.
Categories of Presentation:
• Individual papers are expected to be based on original research, are usually illustrated and 20 minutes in length followed by 5 minutes for questions.
• Thematic sessions should include 3 to 4 presenters and a moderator with a theme based on a particular aspect of education and the quiltmaker or some other theme related to worldwide quiltmaking traditions.
Speakers' times are flexible; in general, a total time of one and a half hours is recommended.
Panel participants must send a copy of their working paper to their session moderator by December 1, 2006. Thematic sessions addressing issues related to symposium exhibitions are encouraged.
