Icepops Call for Papers

Category: News

Icepops, the International Copyright-Literacy Event with Playful Opportunities for Practitioners and Scholars, is coming to Glasgow!

The fourth edition of Icepops (Icepops 2023) will be held at the University of Glasgow at the Advanced Research Centre on Thursday 20th July.

Devised by Chris Morrison and Jane Secker and run in conjunction with the CILIP Information Literacy Group, Icepops will form part of a festival of copyright events from 19-21th July in partnership with CREATe (UK Copyright and Creative Economy Centre) at the University of Glasgow.

The call for papers is now open and closes on 27th March. There are a variety of formats including lightning talks, world café presentations, posters or something else. A short abstract is required along with your proposal, which will be sent to the Icepops panel for peer review.

The conference themes this year are playfulness, games-based learning and the links between copyright and the gaming industry. In addition to this, Icepops are encouraging submissions in the following areas:

– Engaging and creative approaches to copyright education
– Copyright education as part of wider digital and information literacy initiatives
– Copyright education in the cultural heritage sector
– Teaching copyright as part of open scholarship and open educational practices

However, they don’t want applicants to feel constrained if they have a great idea relating to copyright literacy that doesn’t fit 100% into any of the above. Please just let the Icepops team know and they will see if it fits in the programme.

Please access the submission form here or email any queries about submissions to ukcopyrightlit@gmail.com.

Applicants will be notified by Monday 10th April to confirm whether their submissions have been accepted.
