Outline

We invite proposals for 90-minute sessions that include three or four thematically- or methodologically-focused papers. Proposals should present a compelling justification for the session, and specify thoughtful and thought-provoking questions on which the session discussant will focus. We especially encourage special sessions that focus on or relate to the conference theme.

Special Session submissions require two documents. Both documents should be in Word or PDF format, using 12 pt Times New Roman, with 1” margins (US letter) or 2.5cm margins (A4), and 1.5 line spacing.
