Story Work for a Just Future
9th International Digital Storytelling Conference
Story Work for a Just Future: Exploring Diverse Experiences and Methods within an International Community of Practice
9th International Digital Storytelling Conference
March 30-April 1, 2020
Loughborough University, UK
Call for Papers and Presentation Proposals
Storytelling has been defined as ‘the artform of social interaction,’ not only for its inner dynamics, but also for its power to unlock grass-roots knowledge, explore dilemmas, develop community resilience, engender change.
Stories can generate empathy and trust in the audience and at the same time demonstrate their usefulness because they have the power to give meaning to human behaviors and to trigger emotions.
We are interested in proposals that will explore issues related to (but not limited to) the following sub-themes:
- [Past] Unwanted legacies and key learning to carry forward: difficult pasts; traumatic transitions; post-conflict scenarios; lessons learned from our histories; place-based learning and research; reflective learning.
- [Present] Urgent story work: climate change; health; migration; social justice; education and action; deindustrialization, development, gentrification and displacement.
- [Future] Speculative futures: building communities; crossing boundaries; human/animal and human/landscape relations; new forms of conversation; new digital environments, platforms and applications; storytelling for evaluation; curation; dissemination and storyteller safety.
Abstracts are due October 15, 2019. Visit
dst2020.orgfor more information.
Are you interested in forming a Graduate Student Organization (GSO) this year? If so, please fill out the GSA’s online registration form by October 4, 2019 and this will ensure that your organization will be eligible for GSA funding this year.
Due to GSA’s senate restructure, GSO representatives will no longer be required to attend monthly GSA Senate meetings. GSOs are only required to submit two points of contact who will be added to our GSO email list so we can more easily communicate with you throughout the year. The structure of the group's leadership can be left up the GSO as well. Please note that while GSOs no longer need to attend our monthly GSA Senate meetings, we welcome any GSO member to attend; you can find the list of Senate meeting dates
here.
After registering, GSOs can also begin applying for event funding by filling out an
Allocation Request Form. All Allocation request forms will be reviewed monthly by the Grants Review Panel and you will receive communication from the GSA Community Liaison regarding the status of your request as well as instructions for reimbursement.
This year, the GSA Senators representing the 3 different colleges (COEIT, CAHSS and CNMS) as well as the Non-Academic GSOs will be hosting town halls aimed at their college or group. Once we have set those dates, we will be in touch so you may spread the word to your peers and departments.
Once all GSOs are registered, we will also offer training sessions to review event planning and reimbursement procedures, more information on those coming soon.
Please let us know if you have any questions and we are looking forward to your participation this year!

Welcome and Welcome Back!...
LLCers,
I want to welcome you all to a new semester and hope that you are returning to campus refreshed and excited about the academic year. As I ponder on the challenges we face in our city, state, and world, I remain encouraged by your presence and energy, your determination in your work, and your commitment to our intellectual community. From the many places, interests, passions, and perspectives you bring, you found this marvelous Program and we are thankful for our future that you are with us.
I look forward to seeing each of you as classes begin next week. There is excitement abound with the numerous accolades our faculty, alumni, and students are receiving. I will share more in our upcoming fall newsletter, Of Note. LLC will also search for a new faculty member to join us in Fall 2020. Be on the lookout for the myriad ways you can assist us because your insight will ensure we select the ideal candidate.
To those who are just joining us, you found an amazing place to become a budding scholar/researcher/teacher with the core and affiliate faculty with whom you will work. To our continuing students, I want to encourage you to persevere. This doctoral process is a journey that often feels more like a marathon and not a sprint. But we are here as resources to assist you, empower you, and champion you. “We want you done” as our success depends on yours.
Lastly, please consider joining us at our Welcome Reception on Tuesday, 27that 3:30 p.m.-5:00 p.m. in the Performing Arts & Humanities building (PAHB) on the 2nd-floor lobby of the concert hall. We would enjoy hearing about your summer work and escapades.
Until then, welcome and welcome back!...Moffitt

Gladiators in Suits
Kimberly Moffitt's new co-edited book!
Dr. Kimberly Moffitt, LLC's Director and Associate Professor, has a new co-edited volume, Gladiators in Suits: Race, Gender, and the Politics of Representation in Scandal, published by Syracuse University Press.
Named for the main character, Olivia Pope, and her team in the TV series, Scandal,
this volume analyzes the communication, politics, stereotypes, and genre techniques featured in Scandal while raising key questions about the intersections of race, gender, sexuality, and viewing audiences. This collection of essays offers original and timely perspectives on what was one of America's most "scandalous" prime-time network television series.
Congratulations, Kimberly!
