Proposals:

Anyone wishing to pre-arrange a panel on a given theme or topic must first secure agreement from all members of the suggested panel and then submit a proposal. Most panels have three presenters, although some may have more. Proposals should include a 250-300-word description of the topic and full contact information for all members of the group. The person submitting the proposal is the chair of the session. He or she may also be a presenter, but need not be; however, all presenters, including the chair, must be registered for the conference.   

Abstracts:

All persons wishing to give a paper at the conference, including all members of pre-arranged panels, must submit a 300-500-word abstract.Individual papers should be scheduled for 20 minutes.

Dr. Jay Ruud, JRuud@uca.edu, the Program Coordinator, screens all proposals and abstracts, issues acceptances, and arranges the presentations on the program.  He will form panels to accommodate papers not included in pre-arranged groups. Please submit all proposals and abstracts by 10 January 2016, via the online SUBMISSION FORM.

By submitting an abstract, authors give permission for it to be published on the conference web site and in the printed conference booklet.

Only registrants may present papers or organize or moderate panels. Final acceptance hinges on registration (Registration forms and details will be posted later on this web page).
