Peer reviews done for NASS XII

I have done peer-reviews of individual abstracts as a member of the scientific committee for NASS XII - most recently one today.

"Animals in the Anhropocene" abstract book composed; seen in print

Today I saw the abstract book for the conference "Animals in the Anthropocene" in print for the first time, upon returning to my University of Stavanger office after 14 day paternal leave.

I composed and edited the abstract book (76 pp) a few days ahead of the conference. The abstract book was printed in 85 copies (by Attende).

Mentions in NASS abstract book

The abstract book of the 9th conference of the Nordic Association for Semiotic Studies (NASS) is available for viewing online. I am mentioned as member of the Scientific Committee on p. 6, as presenter on p. 31, and with my two abstracts on p. 124 ("Agency in biosemiotics and enactivism") and 125 ("The future Umwelten of wolves, sheep and people in Scandinavia") respectively.

108 abstracts read and evaluated

The last few days I have, as member of the Scientific Advisory Committee, concluded evaluating abstracts submitted to the September 17-19 conference "Animals in the Anthropocene: Human-animal relations in a changing semiosphere", which is to be organised at University of Stavanger. I have read and evaluated all 108 abstracts. Final decisions will be communicated soon.
