Submissions

There are five SCCR submission format choices for 2008. Please see the “Call for Submissions” for full explanations of Paper, Student Poster, Symposium, Panel Discussion, and Conversation Hour sessions. In general:

A “Paper” session is a grouping of several independent 15-minute (minimum) oral presentations on a general theme, given in front of an audience. The conference Program Committee will group accepted papers together based on similarity of topics.

A “Student Poster” session is a grouping of several individual STUDENT poster presentations (each tacked onto a 3’ X 4’ cardboard poster board supplied by SCCR at the conference). Other attendees will browse through the posters at a session and may talk with the presenter one-on-one. No electric power will be available for posters.

A “Symposium” will consist of 3-4 (maximum = 4) oral 15-minute (minimum) presentations, and an integrative commentary by 1 discussant (maximum), given in front of an audience on a theme chosen by the symposium’s organizer.

A “Panel Discussion” is the same overall length as a symposium, but the oral presentations will be shorter, leaving much of the session time for a wide-ranging discussion within the panel and with the audience.

A “Conversation Hour” will consist of 1-2 speakers on one general topic, who will give brief oral presentations about their shared topic and engage in an in-depth and informal dialogue with the audience.
