Dear Colleagues, 

Call for Papers
Progress in Colour Studies 2012 (PICS12) 

The third Progress in Colour Studies conference will take place from Tuesday 10 July to 
Friday 13 July 2012 at the University of Glasgow, Scotland. As with previous conferences in 
the series, the aim is to provide a multidisciplinary forum for discussion of recent and ongoing 
research, presented so as to be accessible to scholars in other disciplines. We therefore 
welcome proposals for papers from any area of interest, including but not limited to 
anthropology, archaeology, art history, biology, cartography, linguistics, onomastics, 
philosophy, psychology, vision science and zoology. Following our previous practice, we hope 
to produce at least one volume of papers from the conference.

Papers will be presented in half-hour slots, including 10 minutes for discussion at the end of 
each. There will be no parallel sessions. Abstracts for proposed papers should be 200-300 
words long including any bibliography. They should be sent by email attachment to Professor 
Carole Hough at the address below by 31 October 2011, for decision by the end of the year. 
Proposals for poster sessions and group sessions (of 3 or 4 papers) are also welcome. Each 
abstract should consist of a cover sheet with the name and contact details of the author and 
a separate sheet without identification containing the abstract.

The cost of the conference, excluding accommodation, will be in the region of GBP160, with 
a reduced rate for postgraduates and the unwaged. We regret that we cannot offer any 
scholarships or other contributions to expenses. A wide range of University and hotel 
accommodation will be available. Details of how to book will be posted on our website shortly.

The conference committee consists of Wendy Anderson, Carole Biggam, Carole Hough, 
Christian Kay and David Simmons. In addition to receiving abstracts, Carole Hough is the 
first point of contact for queries. She can be reached at [log in to unmask]

We look forward to welcoming you to PICS12. 

Carole Hough, on behalf of the committee
