SUBMISSIONS

Submissions for Locating Public(s) are now closed. Thank you to all who submitted.

We will accept three different types of submissions:

1) Individual papers: please submit an abstract of 250-300 words, including your name and institution.

2) Panels: please submit information for an entire panel of presentations (3-4 presenters). This information should include abstracts of all presentations, an abstract of the panel itself, title of the panel, and presenter information (name, institution, and contact info). If you are forming your own panel, you have the option of providing your own chair.

3) Creative Presentations/Panels: we also accept submission of creative works, including creative writing, visual art, and dramatic performance.

For individual papers or creative presentations, the conference committee will work to place you with other papers dealing with similar goals/issues. All panels will run 75-90 minutes in length, meaning that presentations should run no longer than 15 minutes in order to allow 30 minutes for questions. Time restraints for presentations within creative panels will be more flexible and will be dealt with on a case-by-case basis.
