All submissions will be eligible for inclusion in the workshops. These workshops
are designed to help graduate students further develop their research. They are an
excellent opportunity to dialogue and engage with highly respected scholars as well
as gather feedback and critiques in a supportive and positive environment.
The Conference will also host panels of selected submissions of complete papers.
These selected panels are for fully developed questions and follow a more
traditional conference panel structure.
If you are interested in participating in this event, please submit a proposal
(100-200 words) along with your contact information and your school by
December 20, 2011. Please indicate what subfield/subject area of your project
and if you would like your paper considered for a workshop, panel, or both.
