Submissions and Registration Platform

We encourage your direct participation in the creation and flow of our conference's conversations around Methods/​Atmospheres/​Knowledges/​Energies through the submission of stream proposals: a submission from a single person, duo, or trio (no more than three) that identifies and expands on a specific theme related to affect in conjunction with the MAKE theme. Your stream will, ideally, become a set of two to four conference panels (with three to four panelists each). The issues and engagements that serve as a stream's central concerns should be clearly framed and conceived in a way that encourages—as much as possible—potential participation from a wide variety of academic disciplines. Please include a list of topics and sub-topics. See example streams.

Paper submission open April 15, 2026. Submissions close Friday, May 29, 2026.

For those who pursue affect in ways that might be somewhat less formally academic and more aesthetic, performative, poetic, evocative, etc, we welcome the submission of proposals for performances, art installations, musical pieces, film and video showings, and similarly provocative interventions. Please submit a detailed description including special requirements for space and some sense of the time-range.

Registration will open early June.
