Two Featured Tracks for IASD's 38th Annual Conference
Dear Friends of Dreambridge,
The Call for presentations has gone out, and the deadline for your proposals of December 15th is only a month away!
Amongst many other wonderful dream studies tracks, two tracks will be specifically featured in 2021. Consider when you write your proposals, if you would like to submit to one of these tracks:
Dreams and the Arts
The IASD Annual Conference Dreams and the Arts track presents work in the relation of dreams and dreaming to the arts, including visual art, literature, film, music, dance, and theater. Presentations offer experience in methods of arts and crafts that work with dreams; or critical appreciation of works of art in any medium that feature dreams or a perspective on dreaming.
Dreams and Ethnicity
The Dreams and Ethnicity track explores dreams through traditional worldviews and welcomes dreamers of all ethnicities to submit presentation proposals of high quality that reflect their experience with dreams in relation to their self-identified ethnicity. In this track, the meaning of dreams is of spiritual significance to the waking reality of human life and identity. The Dreams and Ethnicity track supports IASD’s growth within a supportive multi-ethnic environment and brings people who have a different contribution to make to the study of dreams forward in-order to open up everyone’s perspective. To understand what makes the Dreams and Ethnicity track unique, this is the definition of the Culture and History track, which will continue as well in 2021: The Culture and History track of IASD conference addresses the cultural dimensions of dreams and dreaming such as cultural studies, anthropology, psychology, urban/rural studies, history, religion/spirituality etc. but not limited to these. Presenters may offer an etic (external) or emic (internal) perspective on the culture on which they present.
the new dreams and ethnicity track comes from work in iasd’s new diversity advisory committee (dac), and will be co-directed by edward bruce bynum and alaya dannu. More about the work of the dac coming soon in the winter edition of dreamtime magazine, a benefit for iasd members.

Is the conference “to be, or not to be…” in Ashland, Oregon?
The short answer is, we will know for certain by February 2021. I will be hosting, whether in person in Ashland, or if we need to have an all virtual conference. There is more detailed information about our virtual contingency here on the IASD conference website.
