This is not a theme-based conference and we envisage a broad based interpretation of multimodality. The conference welcomes papers from across different fields of application – including health, work and occupations, art, media and marketing, games and play, education, tourism, and business. Whilst we expect many of the papers will come under the following sub-headings these are not designed to be exhaustive or limiting:

Identity	Practical applications of multimodality
Social justice	Methodological challenges
Historical perspectives on multimodality	Video based research
Embodiment and physicality	Developments of concepts and theory
Space and place	Multimodality and ethics
Technology and multimodality	Approaches to analyzing multimodal data
Interdisciplinary multimodal work
