Encounters are central to the ways that personal and everyday life are
lived in all their complexity and nuance. Even fleeting encounters can
matter profoundly and can speak to the multi-layered experience of living.
Encounters can be lenses for, and animations of, our ways of knowing the
world. Encounters enliven debate and argument about where such knowledge
comes from, how it gains potency and vitality, and about what kinds of
attentiveness to the world we need to use in creating it.

In this conference we will be using the idea of Encounters as our starting
point for interdisciplinary dialogue around the following kinds of themes:

  - Personal encounters
  - Sensory encounters
  - Intimate encounters
  - Encountering the other
  - Material encounters
  - Inter-species encounters
  - Bio-genetic encounters
  - Neural encounters
  - Socio-cultural encounters
  - Imaginary encounters
  - Fleeting encounters
  - Encountering nature
  - Spatial encounters
  - Temporal encounters
  - Interdisciplinary encounters
  - Dreadful encounters
  - Unexpected encounters
  - Revelatory encounters
  - Spiritual encounters
  - Biographical encounters
  - Serendipitous encounters

The call for abstracts will go out in November 2012 with the deadline
likely to be February 2013.
