Panel Submission Details

Please submit the materials for your panel proposal below. You will need to provide:

1) Details and contact information for each presenter/discussant/organizer

2) A panel abstract that describes the rationale for the panel as a whole

3) Individual paper abstracts for each presentation

Details:

An organized panel session can last 60 minutes or 80 minutes. A 60-minute panel consists of three papers, while 80-minute panels consist of either four papers or three papers plus a discussant.

Each presentation (a paper or a discussant’s formal response) is 20 minutes long, followed by 10 minutes of questions and general discussion. (Those interested in a more flexible format with more participants may want to consider proposing a roundtable.)

A proposal for an organized panel should be submitted by the panel organizer. The submission should include the panel abstract (describing the rationale for the panel as a whole) in addition to abstracts for each of the individual papers.

Paper abstracts (max 250 words) should demonstrate a clear focus or statement of the topic, coherent argument, knowledge of previous research, and a statement of the implications for music studies (broadly conceived).

Roundtable Submission Details

Please submit the materials for your roundtable proposal below. You will need to provide:

1) Details and contact information for the roundtable organizer and all roundtable participants

2) A roundtable abstract that describes the rationale for the session as a whole (please do not name roundtable participants in the abstract)

Details:

A roundtable provides an opportunity for participants to discuss a subject with each other and with members of the audience. A roundtable may be 60 or 80 minutes long (please specify) and may include up to six presenters.

We encourage formats that stimulate discussion and audience participation (at least 50% of the roundtable time must be devoted to discussion). The organizer will solicit position statements of ~10 minutes long from each presenter and will facilitate questions and discussion for the remaining time. The organizer should submit an abstract that outlines the purpose/agenda and organization of the roundtable, as well as the contributions of each participant (unnamed in the abstract).

The abstract (max 250 words) should demonstrate a clear focus or statement of the topic, coherent argument, knowledge of previous research, and a statement of the implications for music studies (broadly conceived).
