Applying to the Convention: Five Categories 

Accepted individual pa
per proposals will be included in panels created by the Program Committee. 

A panel proposal is comprised of up to four panelists whose presentations are based on written papers, as well as a discussant. 

A roundtable proposal includes four presentations not based on written papers and generally addresses ongoing events (such as a recent election or protest) or issues pertaining to research methods and challenges. 

A book panel proposal is based on a monograph published in 2021, 2022 or early 2023. Edited volumes have fewer chances of being accepted.
 
Film proposals will be considered for documentaries produced between 2019-2023 (since the pandemic has not allowed us to show films since 2019). 


Applying to the Convention: Guidelines 

In a nutshell: applicants may not appear on more than two panel proposals (three if one is a book panel) and may not present more than one paper. 

Only ONE paper proposal per applicant will be considered. If your name appears on more than one paper as either single author or co-author, you will be asked to choose which proposal you want the Program Committee to consider. 

Proposals for panels, roundtables or book panels do not include a chair, although exceptions can be made The Convention Program Committee will select all the chairs.
