Call for Papers
6th International Globalization, Diversity, and Education Conference
Submission guidelines:
Proposals for papers panels, symposia and alternative formats should not exceed 500 words. Proposals will be judged on the quality of the narrative, relevance to the conference theme, and likely interest to our audience. A program committee will evaluate proposals in a blind review process. This year the conference will begin offering a peer reviewed publication for conference papers. Criteria for evaluation will include:
1. Significance of the topic to the conference
theme
2. Potential appeal to audience
3. Overall quality of the proposal
Individual papers:
Presenters of individual papers will be grouped into sessions by the conference committee. Paper sessions are approximately 60-75 mins. in length and will include opportunity for audience conversation. Each presenter will have approximately 15 minutes to present their work.
Panel Discussion:
Panel presentations are a group of presenters that have been organized by a session chair around a theme of their choosing. Panels are more flexible in that panelists could discuss a topic as a group rather than giving individual papers. Panels will be scheduled for 60-75 minutes, and must include time for audience participation.
Symposia:
A proposal for a symposium should provide information on the general theme and format of the session as well as a title and short summary of each paper (if applicable). Symposia may be organized into a range of formats that may include performances, audience participant or as a series of paper presentations. Symposia will have a time limit of 60-75 minutes including time for a discussant, if applicable. Time should be allocated for audience participation.
Alternative presentation:
Proposals for alternative presentations such as films, documentaries, performances, or other creative endeavors will be accepted and judged on the basis of a clearly articulated relationship to the theme, audience interest, and the quality of the proposal. Please indicate the amount of time needed for the presentation. Shorter presentations, installations or exhibitions may be combined or integrated into the program.
