ASLE Seminars and Workshops

ASLE will hold six pre-conference workshops and seminars on Tuesday, June 23, on important and emerging topics that reflect the diversity of our approaches and our membership.  In addition, in response to participant feedback we will also hold two mid-conference workshops on Friday, June 26, at the same time as the field trips.

The cost of conference workshops and seminars is $15, payable during online registration.  Each will be limited to 15 participants.

Due to limited space, you must pre-register for these events!

To check availability and sign up or be added to the waitlist for one of the seminars or workshops, please contact our workshop and seminar coordinator Janet Fiskio, at jfiskio@oberlin.edu.  Please provide the following information: 


  • in your email’s subject line, the title of the seminar or workshop you are interested in
  • your name, affiliation, and email address
  • for seminar participants only: give a tentative topic/title that you would like to address (the names and presentation titles of seminar participants will be listed in the program).

The pre-conference workshops and seminars will last for three hours on the afternoon of Tuesday, June 23; the intra-conference workshops will also last for three hours on the afternoon of Friday, June 26. Advanced registration is open now, and will close April 15 (or when full, whichever is earlier). Some pre-conference preparation will be required for seminars, as noted in the descriptions. Because titles of position papers will be listed in the conference program, we encourage (but will not require) seminar participants to consider attending the seminar in lieu of presenting at a regular conference panel.

If you have questions about the specifics of a workshop or seminar not listed in the description, you may contact the leaders, but all other questions about logistics and pre-registration should be directed to Janet Fiskio at
jfiskio@oberlin.edu
.  Leaders will NOT accept any registrations directly.
