> The Global Interaction in Design Conference (GLIDE) is working in collaboration with Iridescent, the Icograda Journal of Design Research to solicit scholarly papers for virtual presentation on November 7, 2012. GLIDE is a biennial, virtual conference that disseminates cutting-edge research on the role of communication design within global society. The purpose of a virtual-only format is to bridge cultural and geographic divides in an eco-friendly way.
> 
> GLIDE’12 will promote research and critical thinking on international issues surrounding food, nutrition, and health. Today, food is no longer viewed simply for nourishment, pleasure, or an overly mass-produced product. Now, due to global industrialization, the way humans interact with food systems and production has reached a critical mass, requiring citizens of the world to consider the introduction of new methods and technological systems that will enable global cultures to remain healthy and viable in the foreseeable and unforeseeable future.
> 
> GLIDE is an interdisciplinary conference. Thus, we welcome submissions from researchers, practitioners, educators and doctoral students from all disciplines that study communication design or integrate a communication design perspective in their collaborative research or
> projects on the global state of food production and consumption, nutrition, or health. Potential paper topics include but are not limited to:
> 
> The role of communication design in addressing the issue of hunger and nutrition or the pursuit of good health
> The role of communication design in effecting good health or engendering healthy nutritional habits for disease prevention or management
> Collaborative research and practices between communication designers and other stakeholders on the creation of more eco-friendly and sustainable food systems and public policy regarding food displacement
> The visual or design culture of food or health systems globally
> The effectiveness of social media to manage food consumption, nutrition, or health
> A review panel of multidisciplinary experts selected from within the GLIDE and Icograda networks will undertake the peer review process for submissions. Successful papers will be eligible for one or more of the following at the review panel’s discretion:
>
