Call for Proposals
Intellectual Property and “‘Computer Love’: Extended Play, B-sides, Remix, Collaboration, and Creativity”
CCCC Sponsored Panel | Intellectual Property Standing Group | April 2025 | Baltimore, MD
The Intellectual Property Standing Group is pleased to invite individual or panel proposals for our sponsored panel at CCCCs in Baltimore that respond to the spirit of the conference theme: “‘Computer Love’: Extended Play, B-sides, Remix, Collaboration, and Creativity.” We are interested in proposals that examine the challenges or opportunities faced by students, educators, and administrators as they navigate developments in intellectual property, especially in the context of GAI. Proposals might examine the pedagogical implications of student utilization of GAI or of faculty incorporation of GAI into course or assignment design. Proposals might also examine legal challenges to LLMs that may have implications for the nature and extent of GAI’s impact on education. These suggestions are meant to provide inspiration and not to limit proposals. We welcome individual proposals as well as complete panel proposals.
