Submit to the Conference

Submissions are Open!

Paper proposals: Paper panels will be programmed for the conference. Paper proposals can be in the draft stages, we encourage all paper proposals to reflect projects in advanced stages of development that will be finished by the conference. Papers can pertain to the theme, or they can also be of general interest to organization members. These proposals must be submitted as a Word document (.docx) that includes the proposed paper’s title, author name(s) and institution(s), a 250-500 word abstract, and 4-6 key words. The conference organizers will arrange these papers into thematic panels to be presented at the conference.

Panel proposals: We also welcome panel proposals, especially those that embrace the conference theme. Although traditional panel formats such as a themed series of papers or discussion about teaching ideas are certainly welcome, we also encourage unique and activist-oriented panels that will offer opportunities not typically available or expected at an academic conference. Panel proposals may be submitted as a Word document (.docx) that includes the panel title, participant name(s) and institution(s), a 250-word description for the conference program, and a brief explanation of each participant’s role.

Art or performance proposals: Performances are often a highlight at the annual conference, and this year’s theme lends itself well to provocative and/or non-traditional performances. We also welcome visual art, including documentary or fictive narrative film; exhibition of paintings, drawings, sculpture, or other visual art; vocal or instrumental song performance; multimedia or digital artwork; or other artistic endeavors. Art or performance proposals may be submitted as a Word document (.docx) that includes a title for the program, artist name(s) and institution(s), a 250-word description for the conference program, and a brief explanation for what the presentation entails. Those who submit in this category should be prepared for follow-up inquiries from the planners about how to accommodate the work at the conference
