Publication Pathways

Imagining Creative Worlds is conceived as a forum not only for presenting work, but also for extending it into more durable forms of scholarly and field-level contribution. The symposium will support multiple publication pathways through which individual papers and collective conversations may continue beyond the event itself.


Symposium Proceedings

Accepted and registered contributions will be included in the symposium proceedings, creating a formal record of the work presented through the event.

Journal Pathways

Participants may develop their symposium papers for possible publication in the journals associated with the Research Networks in conversation with the symposium, according to the scope and fit of the work. In this way, publication pathways remain open across the wider Common Ground ecology of related fields.

Symposium Book Series

Selected papers will be invited for inclusion in a curated best of the symposium book volume. This volume will bring together a distinctive selection of contributions from across the event and offer a more enduring, collectively framed publication outcome.

Field Statement

A further collective outcome of the symposium will be the development of a field statement. Shaped through plenary dialogue, Talking Circles, publication sessions, and a dedicated working group, the statement will seek to articulate key issues, shared concerns, and possible directions for future work across the field.
