Submit a Proposal
There are a number of different ways you can participate in the Colloquium. You can always attend the conference as a guest, of course, but if you would like to present your work or collaborate with others, there are three ways to do so this year:
Propose a Paper: Due Nov 1st
The most common way to participate in the conference is to submit a paper abstract (300 words, max), either to one of the available sub-themes (available Aug. 15th) or to the general call. Papers at the colloquium are 20 mins in length, and will be due to your respondent one month before the conference itself.
​
If a paper is submitted to a sub-theme but is not selected by the theme's organizers, it will be returned to the general call unless otherwise instructed.
Submit a Panel: Due Nov. 1st
Another way to participate in the conference is for an individual or an organization to propose a complete panel, pre-selecting the papers beforehand and then submitting everything to the conference organizers at once. This is a useful way to give updates on ongoing projects, to use the conference to promote the scholarship of a scholarly society, or to collaborate with friends and colleagues. Submissions should include abstracts (300 words max) for each paper and a brief rationale about the panel.
Organize a Sub-Theme: Due Aug. 10th
One way to participate in the conference is to organize a sub-theme that arranges panels on one aspect of the year's topic, broadly conceived. Sub-theme organizers create a description of their topic, advertise and solicit abstracts, and then select the papers the would like to include in one or more panels. Finally, they seek out the respondents they would like to include for each panel. Ideally, sub-themes help people think creatively about the year's theme and should appeal to scholars across disciplines in the field.
