Meeting Description:

The Research group CCD (Communication, Culture and Diversity; www.oru.se/humes/ccd) at the School of HumES (Humanities, Education and Social Sciences), Örebro University, Sweden, invites abstracts for its next international research conference Virtual Learning Sites as Languaging Spaces (ViLS-2), which will be held at Örebro Univer¬sity, Sweden, 22-24 September 2015 (http://www.oru.se/ccd/vils2). 

The main objective of the ViLS-2 international conference is to establish a forum for dialogue on the study of interaction, learning and identity formation in virtual environments, with special attention on the languaging and construction of time and space in virtual sites. A specific interest in ViLS-2 relates to alternative approaches towards the study of Time, Space and Place. How are these co-created in interaction when people, both inside and outside educational arenas, engage with a fluid supply of information and resources? The 2015 ViLS-2 conference will include presentations by invited scholars, peer-reviewed short-listed paper authors as well as provide opportunities for panel discussions led by internationally acclaimed researchers in the conference areas of interest.

Call for Papers:

Abstracts of research/studies that are clearly related to the themes and aims of the ViLS-2 conference are elicited latest by 15 April. Empirical studies from different settings will be accepted. The abstract (max 600 words) should be structured using the following 5 headings available at the following link: 

http://www.oru.se/ccd/ViLS2/abstracts/ 

(i)	a statement of the theoretical and methodological frameworks used, 
(ii)	the empirical materials explored, 
(iii)	the research questions focused upon, 
(iv)	preliminary/final findings of the study, and
(v)	how the study being reported is related to MP 2012.

Author/s of accepted abstracts (will be notified by 18 May) will be expected to make available a full length draft for discussion at the ViLS-2 conference (deadline 1 Sept 2015). Selected papers will be considered for (i) a theme journal issue of an international peer-reviewed journal, and (ii) publication in a focused anthology with an international publisher.
