SUMMARY:Sixth International Digital Storytelling Conference
DESCRIPTION:Call For Papers and Presentation Proposals\n The conferen
 ce is hosted by Smith College and the Five Campus Consortium (Smith Co
 llege, Hampshire College, Mount Holyoke College, University of Massach
 usetts Amherst, and Amherst College). This will be the first time the 
 International Conference will be held in the Western Hemisphere, and w
 e are thrilled to have an opportunity to bring the international commu
 nity to the United States.As we have watched the events of the Fall of
  2014 in the United States unfold regarding issues of race and social 
 justice, we wanted the conference to reflect the current events by foc
 ussing on a principal theme of Youth and Activism. Our goal is to hold
  a one day youth summit in conjunction with the 2.5 day academic and p
 ractitioner conference.  The hope is that a portion of the Youth Summ
 it will be integrated into one event. In addition, we will be inviting
  an exploration of any number of additional themes including the use o
 f Digital Storytelling in public health, curriculum, intercultural a
 nd international education, service learning, sustainability and the e
 nvironment, heritage and memory, participation and social inclusion, a
 s well as new and innovative forms of participatory media.The conferen
 ce will host various events in its structure for inclusion of diverse 
 perspectives and voices. While there will be a formal process of jurie
 d paper presentation sessions for academics, we will also provide spac
 e for practitioners from community settings to present. We will work t
 o have exhibition opportunities for individual digital stories, as w
 ell as a number of ancillary workshops, special events, and exhibition
 s to be held in the period surrounding the conference.\n \nCall for P
 apers/Presentation and Panel Proposals \nThe conference invites propo
 sals for academic papers that discuss digital storytelling and its t
 heoretical, social, and cultural contexts. We also invite proposals fr
