30 JAN. - 1 FEB. 2020 Overview of SymposiumAs technologies evolve and cultures change, so do approaches to visual communication and dynamics of visual literacy. This situation means what constitutes successful visual communication and effective visual literacy is also changing. Researchers, educators, and professional practitioners across different disciplines therefore need to continually review, reflect on, and -- if needed -- revise their understanding of these areas.

Objectives of Symposium
The focus of the Symposium is to bring together researchers and educators working in the areas of visual communication and visual literacy in order to
-- Discuss the current state of research in these areas
-- Present the results of recent (i.e., within the last year) research in these areas
-- Collect comments and suggestions on ongoing or future research projects
-- Explore opportunities for research partnerships with colleagues working in these areas
-- Map prospective research trends in these areas
-- Plan trajectories and discuss conference and publication venues for participants’ work
By examining such ideas, attendees can devise new frameworks and approaches to re-thinking and addressing current and prospective challenges affecting how we approach visual communication and visual literacy within the context of modern society.
