Call for Proposals: AATSEEL 2021 Panel Stream Topics

Deadline: March 15, 2020

The AATSEEL Program Committee invites proposals for panel stream topics for the 2021 conference in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, February 25-28. These streams promote greater cohesion among conference panels and foster a broader dialogue throughout the conference. The result can be a series of mini-conferences within the framework of our larger conference. All conference attendees are welcome to attend stream panels, but participants in a stream are expected to attend all of the panels in their stream.

Stream topic proposals should consist of a 200-word abstract describing the stream as a whole and a list of 4-6 potential participants (you need not yet have firm commitments from them) and should indicate whether you prefer a 2 or 3 panel stream. These should be sent via email to the Program Committee Division Head for Streams (aatseelconference@usc.edu) by March 15, 2020. You will be notified of the committee’s decision by April 1, 2020.
The stream organizer may invite up to half of the total stream participants. The remainder of the stream will consist of participants who submit abstracts to the Program Committee. Once the stream has been accepted, the PC will post a list of streams to SEELANGS and to the conference website and welcome additional paper submissions.
