Proposal

Use this section to provide more details about your proposal including the type, the format, and the title of your proposal as well as your abstract.

Type of Proposal: *

Individual Presentation (15-20 minutes)

Panel Presentation (90 minutes, including discussion time)

Other (seminar, workshop, etc.)

Format: *

We welcome proposals in the following formats:
o Individual: Individuals are encouraged to submit proposals for individual papers and/or presentations. In general, we assume 15-20 minute length limits for individuals (if you are requesting a longer format, be sure to specify and explain why). Word limit for individual proposal: 200 words
o Panels: Groups of individuals are encouraged to submit proposals around a central topic, theme, or approach. Such proposals should aim for a total length of no more than 75 minutes, including time for responses, discussion, and questions. Please include names of all panelists, names or presentations, and a brief description of each paper/presentation. Word limit for panel proposal: 500 words.
o Didactic/Short Courses: We welcome proposals for two kinds of “teaching” programs. The former, didactic sessions, should be 75 minutes in length, featuring either one or a small number of presenters, who will “teach” an audience about some important aspect of disability studies. Proposals should also include details about materials provided for audience members and ways in which audience members will be involved interactively. Short courses will follow the same organization, but may be of greater scope, with a double session scheduled. A rationale for such a scope should be included as part of the proposal. Didactic sessions and short courses on issues surrounding teaching disability studies are particularly encouraged. Word limit: 200 words
o Poster Session: There will be a poster session, as has become traditional at the conference, at which individuals or small teams will be provided a common space to present a visual display of research; presenters should plan on being in attendance at the poster session, in order to amplify the visual display and to interact with viewers. We encourage people to submit proposals specifically for the poster session. Word limit: 200 words
o Artistic/Performance Events: We encourage submissions of an artistic or performance nature—everything from gallery showings of visual arts to musical concerts to theatrical, literary, and comedy performances to dance/movement pieces. These may be proposed by individuals and/or groups, and may or may not fit into the standard time formats specified for other proposals. Word limit: 200 words
o Town Halls/Debates: We encourage proposal of town hall sessions (primary speakers with opportunity for “town” involvement in discussion) or structured debates on a proposition (with assigned affirmative and negative speakers, followed by open discussion). Again, we envision these as 75 minute sessions, but are open to other proposals. We welcome lunchtime roundtables and other innovative formats as well—the more inventive the better! Word limit: 200 words

If you indicated "arts or performance" or "alternative" type of presentation, please provide more details.:

Presentation Title: *

Enter the title of your proposed presentation. If you are proposing a pannel or a workshop, provide the title for that pannel or workshop. Indicate the title of individual presentation in the abstract.

Paste your abstract in this box.: *

Abstract
An effective abstract will likely include:
• a title;
• a narrative description of the work (what are its purposes? what methods, techniques, or theories will be used?);
• an explanation of how the work contributes/critiques/expands the field of Disability Studies;
• a discussion of how the work relates to the conference theme;
• a description of how the work will be made accessible
It is not necessary to address the bullet points in order, but please be as specific as possible regarding content and format.
Be sure to look at the word limits defined in the description for each type of presentation.

Audiovisual Notes:

Finally, indicate any audiovisual requests (note that we cannot guarantee LCD projection for presenters). Please include information about the accessibility of audiovisual presentations (i.e., captioned films, verbal descriptions of slides, images, or films).
