I had the privilege of traveling to Rio de Janeiro this past September to present my research at the 14th International Society for Knowledge Organization (ISKO) Conference. The theme of the conference was “Knowledge Organization for a Sustainable World: Challenges and Perspectives for Cultural, Scientific, and Technological Sharing in a Connected Society.” My presentation, “Describing an Outsider Art Movement from Within: The AAT and Graffiti Art,” was chosen as the best paper of the conference. All conference proceedings were published in volume 15 of the series Advances in Knowledge Organization by Ergon Press.
