Attendance to Intersections 2007 is open to anyone, but geared towards the academic community. Since this is a graduate student event and grad students are notoriously poor, we do not have a registration fee for presenters, nor a set-in-stone entrance fee for audience members. However, we ask that you make a donation of what you can upon entry ($10-20 dollars recommended) to help us cover some of our costs.

This conference is presented by and for graduate student scholars, artists and activists through the organizing efforts of the Communication and Culture Graduate Students Association (GSA): http://www.yorku.ca/cocugsa

Sloganeer

Intersections 2007 will feature Toronto artist Rob Labossiere's "Sloganeer" participatory authorship installation - a "resource for the exploration of organization, collective, company or group identity." Sloganeer allows users to "play, explore, twist, add to, divert, enhance... in a word, build the collective meaning of [whatever topic is assigned]. You can also use Sloganeer as a feedback and consensus building tool. Gather commentary, thoughts, criticism ? public feedback or input into your project, goals and methods." (http://www.sloganeer.org)

Conference participants will be asked to develop a slogan for the concept of "The University"

Collected slogans will be read off at the end of the conference, as well as published online at http://www.sloganeer.org
