CFP: "Aspects of Vision," Mary Immaculate College, University of Limerick, July 17, 2008.

This conference is dedicated to the exploration of aspects of vision. The aim of this conference is to foster relations among scholars from a variety of different backgrounds and disciplines, whose research incorporates some aspect of vision theory, considered in a broad sense. Without placing strictures on the possible relevance of any specific discipline, it is anticipated that philosophical, psychological, historical and literary approaches will be of import. Preference will be given to submissions which bridge disciplinary boundaries, or are amenable to audiences drawn from various disciplines.
