Paper Presentation Proposals
Paper Presentation Proposals (15–18 minutes) may be focused on either empirical findings or theoretical analysis. The program review committee will select individual submissions and schedule a series of Paper Sessions that include 3–5 papers on similar topics. These sessions will have a chair appointed by the program committee. A paper proposal should include a 250-word abstract (for publication in the conference program) and a 600-word summary (for the program review committee).
Poster Presentation Proposals
Poster Presentation Proposals may be focused on either empirical findings or theoretical analysis. The sessions are organized around broad themes derived from the posters selected for each session. Posters are mounted for display in a high-traffic area for the entire day of the session, but presenting authors need only attend their poster during the official
session. A poster proposal must include a 250-word abstract (for publication in the conference program), and a 600 word summary (for the program review committee).
Symposium Session Organization Proposals
Symposium Session Organization Proposals (75-90 minutes) should describe 3-4 presentations organized around a single topic and may include a named discussant who will comment on the presented papers. We assume the submitter is the organizer and the chair. A symposium proposal requires only a 250-word abstract (for publication in the
conference program) that describes the session as a whole. The organizer has to enter the names of all participating presenters with the titles of their individual presentations.
Symposium Session Contribution Proposals
All the presenters in a symposium are required to upload their own title, 250-word abstracts (for publication in the conference program), and a 600-word summary (for the program review committee). They can indicate to which symposium they are contributing.
Discussion Sessions Organization Proposals
Discussion Sessions Organization Proposals (75–90 minutes) are intended to provide an interactive venue for exploring ideas that bear on the development of knowledge, broadly conceived. They may be formatted as debates, panels, or organized discussions; and may focus on any well-defined topic. Submissions must include a 250-word abstract (for
publication in the conference program), and a 600-word summary (for the program review committee) that describes the topic and structure of the session and the role of each of the discussion leaders.
Discussion Session Contributions Proposals
All the discussion leaders in a symposium are required to upload a brief 250-word bio/memo (for publication in the conference program). You can indicate to which Discussion session you are contributing.
