Weird academic conferences (absurd academia, pt. 2)
I mean. It does kind of sound like fun if you were into motorcycles. But I'm not hugely surprised that this is "the only online peer-reviewed journal dedicated to motorcycle culture."
Call For Papers: INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF MOTORCYCLE STUDIES CONFERENCE,
Colorado Springs, Colorado, June 3-6, 2010
The International Journal of Motorcycle Studies (IJMS), the only online,
peer-reviewed journal dedicated to motorcycle culture, will be hosting its
inaugural conference at the University of Colorado, Colorado Springs, June
3-6, 2010.
IJMS is dedicated to the study and discussion of motorcycling culture in all
its forms‹from the experience of riding and racing to the history of the
machine, the riders and design to the images of motorcycling and
motorcyclists in film, advertising and literature.
We welcome submissions on all areas related to the cultural phenomenon of
motorcycling worldwide. We invite contributions from all members of the
motorcycling community. Suggested topics include:
€ The motorcycle or riding in film, literature, art and music
€ The motorcycle as art
€ Motorcycle racing
€ Motorcycle history
€ The role of place/environment in motorcycling
€ Motorcycling and issues of safety and risk
€ Motorcycling and the law/legal issues
€ Motorcycle technology/design
€ Motorcycling and race, class, ethnicity, sexuality or gender
€ The psychology of the motorcycle, the motorcyclist and the ride
€ Motorcycle travel/tourism
€ Motorcycle rights and politics
€ The commodification of motorcycles, motorcycling and/or motorcyclists
€ Motorcycle clothing/fashion
€ Advertising/marketing of motorcycles, gear and motorcycle culture
€ Media representations of motorcycling
€ Other literary, anthropological, geographical, historical,
sociological, political, economic/business or psychological perspectives of
motorcycling culture
In addition to traditional academic paper presentations, we encourage
submissions using alternate forms, such as photographic exhibitions or
multimedia presentations.
