Considerations, Concepts, and Challenges!

As part of our highlight of the College of Arts & Architecture, as you reflect   on the kinds of conversations and presentations you'll be submitting for the both   online and in-person conferences; we're asking you to consider some additional lenses   and how they might apply to our collective work. 

Video Guidelines - Motive and Menagerie

There are a few video formats and types that we are hoping for a committed response     from our community members. The aim of these in format and function is to create     a greater sense of presence within the community as well as to creatively expand     our craft through the application of play and frivolity.

Formats

The Water Cooler Challenge (WCC)

The Water Cooler Challenge is designed to achieve a few different things. Flex a     unit's technical and creative aptitude, provide an opportunity to express the members     and personality of your team, and to provide a team building exercise that can be     completed regardless of proximities.

    Panel Discussions

    This will be synchronous sessions via Discord. All topics will be considered, the committee will reach out for more information after submission. They should be open conversations or standard presentations best given synchronously. They will be scheduled and available for all to join via the website and Discord.

    Slide Deck Presentations

    The classics are classic for a reason, right? LDSC doesn't have learning tracks, so all considerations will be reviewed before acceptance, but only for moderation purposes. If you choose to submit to this track, the planning committee will reach out to you if there are questions.
