We invite scholarly work from a variety of traditional academic disciplines and approaches. Proposals from graduate students and professionals/practitioners are encouraged. Proposals for individual papers, panels, symposiums, film/documentary screenings, posters and other creative endeavours that address the conference theme are solicited.
Specific guidelines for contributors
Proposals for panels, symposia and alternative formats should not exceed 1000 words. Proposals for individual papers should not exceed 200 words. Proposals will be judged on quality of scholarship, relevance to the conference theme, and likely interest to audience. A program committee will evaluate proposals in a blind review process. The proposals should consist of a narrative description of the presentation and should describe its relationship to the conference theme. The descriptions should not contain the names of the presenters.
