All conference sessions will be 90-minutes long. ASLE strongly encourages presenters to create pre-formed panels and to experiment with alternative forms of presentation, discussion and engagement. Both scholarly and creative submissions are welcome. As in the past few years, we expect to receive more proposals than we can accommodate; therefore, not all proposals will be accepted. Proposals for fully constituted panels will be given priority over individual paper proposals; please note that there are separate tabs for panel proposal submission and individual paper/creative submission on the conference website.
Key information:
Deadline extended: All proposals must be submitted by December 12, 2014. We will evaluate your proposal carefully and notify you of its final status by February 15, 2015.
Note: you must be or become a member of ASLE by the time of registration to present at the conference. Join or check your membership status at www.asle.org.
Key information:
- proposals for pre-formed panels must include at least four presentations (papers, readings, provocations, responses, etc.), 15 minutes-max each, plus a chair; panel organizers must submit the proposal on behalf of all panelists (500 word abstract for the panel outlining topic, format, participants’ roles; 300 word abstract for each contribution as relevant to the format; all contact information)
- proposals for panels may also include roundtables (five or six 10 minute-max presentations plus discussion) and paper/reading/hybrid jams (seven or eight short, sharp eight minute-max presentations plus discussion); please contact 2015 ASLE President Cate Sandilands at ASLE2015@yorku.ca to discuss other format options (e.g., author-meets-critics)
- to encourage institutional diversity and exchange, all pre-formed panels must include participants from more than one institution and from more than one academic level/sector
- individual paper/reading/performance submissions are for 15 minute presentations; potential presenters will be asked to indicate whether they would also be willing to participate in a paper/reading/hybrid jam with a shorter presentation (which will increase chances of acceptance); 300 word abstracts should describe both form and content and include all contact information
- only one proposal submission is allowed per person; participants can present only once during the conference (pre-conference seminars/workshops and chairing a panel not included)
- proposals must be submitted online; in cases in which this requirement poses a significant difficulty, please contact Cate Sandilands, as above
- ASLE policy is currently to discourage virtual participation at our biennial conferences except in extraordinary circumstances.
Deadline extended: All proposals must be submitted by December 12, 2014. We will evaluate your proposal carefully and notify you of its final status by February 15, 2015.
