Call for Abstracts 

 

Dear SHE Members and Friends:

The program for SHE XXIII is well under way. Many thanks to everyone who responded to the call for preliminary program contributions.  Additional contributions are encouraged up to FINAL DEADLINE of APRIL 15.

This conference is meant to be as broadly interdisciplinary as possible – bridging science, social science and policy perspectives – with literature, humanities and creative arts.  Like previous SHE meetings, it is intended to bring together a diverse group of educators, researchers and practitioners who utilize, or are interested in, interdisciplinary and ecological approaches. We look forward to a diverse and exciting program with an excellent range of speakers, symposia, round-tables and individual presentations.

A. Abstract Preparation 

Abstract preparation should include: The full title of the paper and name(s), institutional affiliation(s) and email address(es) for registered presenter(s).  They should be about 150 – 200 words and include three to five key words. Those who are organizing symposia should likewise provide information for all presenters.  Abstracts should be submitted as an attachment.

Please send all submissions to sheconference2018@gmail.com   In the subject line of the email please indicate “SHE Abstract”, “SHE Symposia”, or “SHE Poster”.   All accepted abstracts will be published in the Program and Abstracts book and will be given to the participants on the conference day.

Early submissions help the conference committee identify emerging themes and design the

program. Thus, we encourage early symposia/paper/poster submissions and abstracts as soon as is possible — keeping in mind revisions are always accepted up to the final deadline date.

B. Forms of Participation

1.  Organized Sessions/Symposia: Organized sessions should be designed to fill a 1 ½ – 2-hour block and involve 4 to 6 presenters. These usually consist of either a group of papers or a thematic discussion/symposium. The organizer is responsible for the coordination of participants and for collecting the abstracts for all symposia/organized session presenters which should include email contact information and institutional affiliations.

2.  Contributed Papers: Individual papers will be grouped on similar issues. Paper presentations (c. 15 to 20 minutes in duration, depending on the number of papers in each session) will be placed in 1 ½ to 2-hour time slots, with time allotted for end-of session discussion.

3.  Posters: Space and time will be provided for poster-style presentations. Submissions for posters follow the same guidelines as for a contributed paper, e.g. author, title and abstract.
