Immersive Pedagogy: A Symposium on Humanities Teaching and Learning with 3D, Augmented and Virtual Reality
Carnegie Mellon University, June 27th-28th, 2019
Call For Proposals
3D, augmented, and virtual reality technologies are becoming increasingly useful
for advancing humanistic inquiry and pedagogy through immersive visualizations of
spaces, artifacts, and data. Although some academic institutions offer technical support
for specific tools, a range of obstacles still deter researchers and students from
experimenting with these emerging technologies as teaching and learning tools . As a
result, critical engagement with 3D and XR technology remains embryonic.Immersive Pedagogy: A Symposium on Humanities Teaching and Learning with
3D, Augmented and Virtual Reality, hosted at Carnegie Mellon University on June
27th-28th of 2019, seeks to bring together librarians, educational technologists,
students, scholars, and artists to generate accessible, scaffolded pedagogical materials
that integrate scholarly inquiry with technical training. Alongside multiple keynote
speakers, during the day-and-a-half symposium participants will collaborate through
creative exercises and peer workshops to develop and revise pedagogical material for
immersive technology, including lesson plans, learning exercises, course syllabi, and
disciplinary curricula.We invite proposals from scholars across the humanities focused on
pedagogically oriented projects, particularly in the fields of Latinx, Latin American, and
Caribbean Studies. Proposals should showcase how 3D/XR technologies and related
digital humanities and data curation practices intersect with methodologies derived from
the following studies:* Community archives
● Critical digital studies
● Cultural heritage
● Disability studies
● Intersectional feminist theory
● Immigration and migration
● LGBTQ studies
● Minority/underrepresented archives
● Postcolonial/decolonial theory
● Public humanities
● Race and ethnicityTo apply, please submit a 500-word proposal along with a cover sheet with your
full name and contact information to ImmersivePedagogy@gmail.com . Applications are
due by February 1st, 2019 . Questions can be sent to the same email address.Submissions should engage with the pedagogy of 3D/XR technology. They may
describe 3D/XR projects for scholarly or public engagement, lesson plans, course
syllabi that use existing 3D/XR projects or resources, or theoretical and scholarship on
pedagogical practices with 3D/XR technology, among other relevant topics. No previous
experience with immersive technology is required to apply, but applicants should specify
their level of experience and their reasons for working with the technology from a
pedagogical, humanistic, and decolonial perspective.Participants acknowledge and accept that pedagogical materials [produced for
the conference] will be made available to the public under Creative Commons (cc)
