Encompassing Knowledge Asymmetries Welcome to the website of the 360° Conference "Encompassing Knowledge Asymmetries" which will take place at the Aarhus School of Business, Aarhus University, Denmark 6–8 May 2010!

The conference is the 3rd conference in our international biannual conference series that approach communication, discourse, and concrete texts from a 360° perspective. After the first two conferences in the series, which had the instructive text (2006) and knowledge (2008) as the focal points, we now focus on knowledge asymmetries.

According to Webster’s Encyclopedic Unabridged Dictionary of the English Language (1989 edition), being asymmetric means “not identical on both sides of a central line”. Talking about knowledge asymmetries, i.e., using asymmetry not as a geometrical or mathematical concept but figuratively, we apply it as a metaphor to human communicative interaction.

We invite papers that approach knowledge asymmetries from different perspectives. Accordingly, three tracks focusing on three different perspectives are foreseen, i.e.:

■Communication
■Representation
■Construction and Learning

We are looking forward to receiving your contribution to making the 3rd conference a success!


On behalf of the Scientific Committee,
Marianne Grove Ditlevsen
