The meeting will be hosted by
Randolph Blake and Ed Hubbard, Vanderbilt University, together with the
Board Members of the
ASA: Sean Day, Lawrence E. Marks, and Carol Steen. The Vanderbilt
Vision Research Center and the Vanderbilt Kennedy Center are providing
partial support for this year's meetings.
The Board Members of the ASA
invite submission of abstracts from individuals wishing to make a
presentation on any of the following: a scholarly paper, a discussion of
creative aspects of synesthesia, a reading, a presentation of visual
artwork, audio compositions, or video presentations. If you are
interested in being considered for a presentation, please submit an
abstract, no longer than 250 words.
Include your name, e-mail
address, telephone contact number, and a short résumé (no more than two
pages) or web-link to same. The number of presentation slots will be
limited, so there is no guarantee that a submission can be accepted.
Notifications will be made by July 31st. Individuals are urged to
attend even if they do not intend to make a presentation.
Please also list any audio-visual
equipment, including podium and microphone, you might need for your
presentation. Please plan on limiting your presentation to 20 minutes
(not including an additional 5 minutes for Questions & Answers) in
length.
The abstract review board is
representative of the diverse interests, talents, and approaches to
exploring and experiencing synesthesia. It includes artists, linguists,
historians, and scientists, some of whom are synesthetes themselves.
