*Call for Papers*

*Fan Studies Network North America Virtual Conference 2020*

*October 13-17, 2020*

For this year, we have decided to host the virtual-only Fan Studies Network
North America over five days in October to encourage participation and
access, and to limit Zoom mental overload. The conference will combine
synchronous and asynchronous conversations. Rather than traditional papers,
we will have virtual workshops, salons, and posters.

Please submit proposals using the submission form *HERE*
<https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1eciVGAN7quiszoNeRywUhSgGjg62LYqdChNWkxKc034/viewform?edit_requested=true>
.

*Workshops* can be led by 2-4 attendees and will focus on the development
of practical knowledge, sharing of experience, and hands-on practice.

*Salons* can be led by 1-2 attendees and will be discussions focused on a
range of topics. Initial proposals for possible salon topics from leaders
are due by July 25th, followed by open call for participants once topics
have been chosen (200 word response due August 25th). Once accepted, salon
participants will then write 300-500 word perspectives/abstracts on that
salon’s topic, which they will share with the other salon conversation
participants a few days before their session.

*Posters* offer the opportunity to share works in progress and evolving
questions. These would be akin to the in-person speed-geeking, but will be
open to scholars at all stages of their careers. These should not be
heavily text-based but rather presented asynchronously in a design-oriented
visual and/or auditory format. These could be, for example, infographic
posters or short form video essays or audio pieces (limit five minutes).
