Additional information

Proposals for In-Person Presentations

Proposals for in-person presentations at the conference may be submitted as one of four types: 1) Paper Presentation (which will be scheduled as part of a Themed Session or Roundtable Discussion); 2) Workshop/Interactive Presentation; 3) Poster or Exhibit; 4) Colloquium. Each of these is explained in more detail below.

Paper Presentation

An accepted proposal for a single paper presentation (prepared by one or more authors) will be assigned to one of the following formats by the Program Development group:

A) Themed Session

This type of session is best suited for reports on completed research or scholarly work. Authors present summaries or overviews of their work, describing the essential features (related to purpose, procedures, outcomes or product). The formal oral presentation of work should be limited to 15 minutes. Presentations are grouped according to topic or perspective into these themed sessions (which are usually either 75 or 90 minutes), with time provided after all of the presentations for Q&A and group discussion. Authors are welcome to include visual supports (paper handouts, computer slides, or digital displays) to assist delivery of their oral presentation. Please note that we cannot provide photocopying facilities at the Conference, but we will provide data projectors in each room. Multiple-authored presentations are welcome, although only one article may be submitted to the Interdisciplinary Social Sciences Collection based on each presentation.
