PaTHES conference 2026

Call for papers:

We would like to invite you to submit an extended abstract. The abstracts may be empirical or conceptual. After acceptance of your abstract we will group the papers according to the emerging themes to stimulate discussion and dialogue. You are encouraged to develop a working paper which can be uploaded before the conference to support discussion.

To submit your abstract of max. 700 words, with a clear title, please first save the file as a PDF. Make sure that the submission does not contain author details. You will be asked to fill your contact details separately. When you access the submission page, you will meet something that looks like a shopping cart. We are unfortunately unable to get around this system. Fill in your details as requested and upload your PDF file and press submit. You will not be asked for any payment. When you have submitted, you will receive an acknowledgement email immediately. If you do not receive an acknowledgement, please write to Sarah Robinson srobin@au.dk. Submission of abstract: Call for Abstracts: Patches Conference, 2026

Formats:

Presentations will have the setting of a traditional conference, in a seminar room, but need not take that traditional format. Participants are encouraged to think creatively about how they communicate and explore the concepts with which they play, live, or work.

Please find below the important dates for the conference preparation.

We look forward to meeting you and to discuss and listen in a collaborative open environment created by the  PaTHES community of scholars.

Organisers

The conference will be hosted jointly by the Centre for Educational Development (CED) and Aarhus Institute of Advanced Studies (AIAS) both at Aarhus University, Denmark.
