Submission Guidelines

We welcome submissions in two formats – paper proposals and panel proposals. For paper proposals, please submit a 200-250 word abstract of your proposal for consideration in the conference. Abstracts of more than 250 words are not accepted into the submission system.

For panel proposals, please submit a brief (200-250 word) description of the panel along with the names of three to five-panel members. Each panel session will last for 90 minutes and will consist of presentations by three to five delegates around the same topical area, followed by Q&A between presenters and the audience. All panel members must attend the conference.

Please note, even though the system has an abstract box, you still need to upload your abstract as a PDF or WORD file as an attachment to complete the submission.

Further, you may submit a full-length paper for consideration for the conference awards. After the conference submission deadline, please email your paper to Dr. George O. White III at gowhite@umich.edu by September 10, 2022 for awards consideration.
