The College Book Art Association welcomes the submission of paper proposals for its second biennial Conference to be held on the campus of Indiana University, Bloomington. The conference will provide students, scholars, librarians, and faculty with a public forum to discuss topics in and related to book arts education.

The College Book Art Association is a non-profit organization committed to the teaching of book arts at the college and university level. The Association strives to support, not only education about book arts, but is also concerned with both the practice and analysis of the medium.  It welcomes as members everyone involved in such teaching and all others who have similar goals and interests. The Association aims to engage in a continuing reappraisal of the nature and meaning of the teaching of book arts.

 

SUBMISSION GUIDELINES:

To be considered for acceptance, abstracts must reflect practice, teaching, scholarship and criticism as they relate to academic book arts.  Academic book arts may be considered broadly, including studio art, art history, design studies, history of the book, material culture, typography, comparative literature, and pedagogical and interdisciplinary studies.  All abstract submissions should provide enough detail about the research so that the reviewers have sufficient information to judge its quality in anticipation of the final and completed paper/presentation.
