This year's conference will take place on March 13, 2026 at the TMU Catalyst in the Rogers Communication Centre. This is a hybrid event with the opportunity for online attendance. The registration on this Eventbrite is for in-person and virtual attendance; virtual attendees should also use the <a href="https:// https://yorku.zoom.us/meeting/register/rDrO1BVdToq6ibO2nL2Nng#/registration" title="https:// https://yorku.zoom.us/meeting/register/rDrO1BVdToq6ibO2nL2Nng#/registration" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Zoom link to register</a>. The theme of this year’s conference is “Currents of Change: Media, Activism, and Cultural Transitions," which encourages submissions that delve into how any given form of media may play a role in enacting change at levels cosmic, microscopic, and everywhere in between. Submissions may trace the currents of change as they manifest in our pasts, presents, and potential futures. The event features two interconnected components: Intersections, the academic conference with panels and roundtables, and Cross-Sections, the accompanying art exhibition showcasing practice-based, experimental, and media-oriented work. Together, these spaces blur the boundaries between research and creation, theory and practice. This year's conference will feature a keynote address from Dr. Eliza Chandler, associate professor in the School of Disability Studies at Toronto Metropolitan University. Breakfast, lunch, and light refreshments will be provided. There will be an after-conference social at the MET Campus Pub (63 Gould Street) starting at 6 PM. Food will also be provided at the social and there will be no cover charge or minimum spend required; guests can purchase their own drinks if they wish. IS|CS values diverse perspectives and aims to provide an equitable, inclusive, and welcoming space for all participants to engage in cross-disciplinary discussions and the creative exhibition. We are also committed to accommodating any accessibility needs.
