ICEPOPS
We are delighted to announce that the Icepops 2019 call for contributions is now open. The conference is taking place on 26th June 2019 at the University of Edinburgh and you have from now until the 4th February to come up with an idea for your presentation.
We are looking for speakers on all aspects of copyright education from a variety of different perspectives. Last year we attracted expert speakers from educational & cultural institutions, publishing houses and government departments as well as an impressive number of international delegates. Our first keynote this year is composer, publisher and scholar Simon Anderson, who will be opening the conference with a musical theme. We particularly welcome sessions that might compliment this. However, we also retain the playful learning theme from last year and our afternoon keynote, the award-winning Charlie Farley from the University of Edinburgh will be leading an interactive workshop.
We would like to encourage presenters to address one of the themes of this year’s conference:
– Universal Copyright Literacy: bridging the gaps between lawyers, IP teachers, specialists and copyright muggles
– Engaging and creative approaches to copyright education including using games, music and performance
– Copyright education as part of digital and information literacy initiatives
– Copyright education in the cultural heritage sector
– Teaching copyright as part of scholarly and open practices
However, we wouldn’t want you to feel constrained if you have a great idea relating to copyright literacy that doesn’t fit 100% into any of the above. Please just let us know and we’ll see if it fits in the programme.
