Design note: Status is computed from the date, so a closed call stops inviting submissions on its own. Today the closed calls stay on the page until someone edits it.
Submitting a proposal
- You must be a member for 2026–27 when you submit. The form checks this for you.
- One individual abstract per person, and one paper or poster delivered. You may also organise one panel, workshop or round table.
- Abstracts are judged anonymously by the Program Committee: no name or affiliation anywhere in the text.
- Say whether you need a projector or sound when you submit.
Session types
- Individual paper
- 15 minutes.
- Panel
- A presider and three to six papers, no longer than 90 minutes.
- Workshop
- A presider and at least one presenter, about an hour, with activities for the audience.
- Round table
- One discussion leader, or two.
- Poster
- Undergraduates only, following the poster guidelines.
Registration
Everyone whose submission is accepted is expected to register by 19 January 2027; registration costs more after that date. Submitting an abstract is a commitment to present in person in Cleveland.
Design note: Registration would open here, on the same account as membership, so a member's details and status carry over and non-member rates are charged automatically.
