Submissions open August 21, 2009

Deadline: November 1, 2009

Abstracts for proposals should be between 200 and 500 words in length and should include a title.

Submitting electronically is a two-step process: 1) Setting up a user ID, then 2) using that ID to log in—this time to a welcome page, which provides a link for submitting proposals to the conference. If submitting a panel, panel organizers should create user IDs for each proposed participants. If you are willing to serve as a session chair or respondent for a panel other than your own, please indicate so on your submission.
