CALL FOR PROPOSALS

CitiesMethodologies was inaugurated in 2009 as a pan-UCL initiative to showcase innovative methods in urban research, drawing together work from undergraduate programmes, through to PhD studies, and the staff research community. Following on the success of last year's exhibition, talks, screenings and workshops, we invite UCL staff, students and recent alumni to submit proposals for work to be exhibited, and suggestions for events, for CitiesMethodologies 2010, once again due to be held in the Slade Research Centre, Woburn Square (5-7th May). The exhibition, conceived as a city street, will provide a framework to walk through and encounter diverse methods of enquiry, presentation and dissemination in urban research in juxtaposition – from archival studies to statistical analyses, practice-led art and design work to oral history, writing, walking, film-making and photography. Proposals for exhibits and events which engage with the city are invited from any discipline, right across the built environment, the arts and humanities, social and historical sciences, engineering, laws and the sciences. CitiesMethodologies aims to promote cross- and inter-disciplinary work, and to showcase recent highlights of UCL staff and student work on a wide range of cities.

To submit a proposal please complete this form and follow the submission instructions, returning it by 24th March 2010, 5pm. Joint and group applications are welcomed.
