Call for Abstracts and Panel Proposal

Submission Requirements
Only research abstracts of about 500 words are required to be considered for presentation at the Midwinter Conference. The abstract should give a clear sense of the scope of the research, its relevant hypotheses and/or research questions and the method of inquiry. Do not submit full papers.
Panel proposals should include a panel title, a 300- to 500-word description of the session’s focus and a list of potential or confirmed panelists, including their university affiliations.

Panel and paper abstracts should include two files each:
1) one file with a title page that identifies the paper’s author(s) or panel’s organizer(s) – including mailing address, telephone number and e-mail address of the person to whom inquiries about the submission should be addressed;
2) another file that has the abstract or proposal without the identifying information.
MC&S paper abstracts and panel proposals are due by Dec. 7 to Donnalyn Pompper at dpompper@temple.edu. Abstracts and proposals should be submitted in a standard word processing file. Authors will be notified by Jan. 10, 2008.

Authors whose abstracts are accepted must submit complete research papers, not exceeding 30 pages, to their assigned discussant two weeks prior to the conference.

Papers presented at this conference also are eligible for presentation at the national AEJMC convention. Authors are encouraged to use the feedback from reviewers and other Midwinter Conference attendees to improve upon and finalize works in progress for submission to the national convention.
