This form follows a basic format that presumes an independent, 20-minute presentation of a paper or video essay. We also welcome proposals for roundtable sessions that include 4-6 participants, organized around a topic suitable for extended group discussion; pre-constituted panels with 3-4 presenters focusing their work around a specific theme will also be considered. Practice-oriented submissions are especially encouraged.
Roundtable discussants and pre-constituted panelists should each submit a separate proposal, making sure to indicate, under Additional Information, the title of the roundtable/panel and the names of their fellow participants.
