Thematic panels
A panel is intended to cluster several independent papers around a central theme. Panels will have a maximum duration of three hours.
The panel organiser should ensure that the participants submit their papers or powerpoint presentations to him/her in advance of the conference for circulation to all panel members, which will guarantee a focused debate at the meeting itself.
Panel organisers should:
- submit a proposal (see below) including the list of invited contributors and/or discussants by the deadline (16 NOVEMBER 2009) and confirm that all invited contributors have agreed to participate;
- coordinate the submission of abstracts by contributors (max. 300 words each) before the same deadline as above;
- chair their panel at SS18;
- act as mediators between the contributors and the SS18 Organising Committee (ensuring, for example, that all speakers register for SS18 by the deadline for speaker registration).
Submitting panel proposals
Proposals for a thematic panel should be submitted electronically via the SS18 website by the panel organiser. Before you can submit your proposal you will first need to register and fill in your personal information.
The proposal should include:
- the list of invited contributors and/or discussants (name, affiliation, email address);
- a maximum of 8 keywords covering the subject, methodology and theoretical framework(s);
- all the individual abstracts (of a maximum of 300 words)
- a general overview abstract (maximum of 900 words) for the whole panel which will include:
- the topic and how it relates to the conference themes;
- rationale for the panel and its aims and objectives;
- discussion questions;
- how the session will be organised (discussion format, number of papers, discussants/participants);
- a short list of key references.
After having submitted the proposal, the panel organiser will receive an automatic notification of the receipt of their proposal.
