ABS CALL for SYMPOSIA, INVITED SESSIONS & WORKSHOP PROPOSALS - 2016 ABS MEETING
To organize a symposium, an invited paper session, or a workshop for the ABS Annual Meeting, you should contact Program Officers to discuss your ideas. We will first make sure that there are no potential conflicts with the topic that you are considering. Then we will ask you to prepare a pre-proposal and submit it to the Program Officers. Organizers often find that consultations with the Program Officers when drafting the pre-proposal are helpful. The pre-proposal should be a page or two summarizing your intent for the session, and suggesting potential participants.
A symposium should be a profound and stimulating review of an important subject area that currently is a major focus of research. It should be a thorough treatment of past work and current research advances. A symposium should be of general interest to the majority of ABS members.
An invited paper session is a special grouping of papers that focus upon empirical results relating to a particular topic. Usually there is no all-encompassing historical-theoretical perspective, although the organizer(s) may wish to summarize the individual papers or arrange them according to some theme.
Proposals must be submitted through the website: www.tinyurl.com/abs2016symp for the 2016 meeting in Missouri are due on June 1, 2015 (midnight, Alaska timezone) before the annual meeting in Anchorage in 2015 (June 10-14: abs2015.org ). The proposals will be circulated to the Executive Committee prior to the Annual Meeting and then discussed at the EC meeting.
