Hi everyone,

Here is an update to the International Visual Literacy Conference:

However, we are working to ensure publishing, presentation, learning, and connecting opportunities via a virtual conference. The deadline for the call for proposals is now June 1st, 2020.

Warmly, Sarah

This group was new to me so I checked out https://ivla.org/ and found:

"The International Visual Literacy Association (IVLA) is an interdisciplinary organization of professionals working toward a fuller understanding of the way we derive meaning from what we see and the way we interact with our visual environment."
AND
"IVLA members represent a wide range of disciplines including arts, sciences, communication theory, semiotics, graphic design, photography, videography, media studies, digital technology, architecture, business, education, educational technology, instructional design, health, psychology, linguistics, philosophy, cultural anthropology, brain research, computer applications, museum studies, and more."
