Instructions for Speakers

The latest draft of the program is now available on the website. Please advise us as soon as possible if there are any problems with your proposed session.


Keynote speakers have been allocated 45 minutes (30 minutes plus 15 minutes questions). The parallel panel sessions will be 1 hour and 15 minutes for three speakers - we are asking speakers to keep to 15-20 minutes to allow adequate time for questions and discussions. 


If you are planning to submit your paper for consideration as part of the edited collection we would ask that you submit a draft of a minimum 3000 words by 18 November. The word limit for final papers will be 6000-7000. If you do not intend to submit your paper for publication then there is no need to provide us with a full draft prior to the conference.


If you have not already done so, please forward a brief bio to Bridget Lewis so that it can be included in the conference materials and on the website.
