Proposals for sections should include:
- Name, institutional affiliation, EISA membership number and email address of the proposed section chair(s) — maximum two chairs per section;
- Proposed section title and summary of its theme(s) and rationale(s) (no more than 250 words). Please state here if your proposed section is to contain 5 or 10 panels;
- Tentative list of possible panels. A full list of panels is not required but section chair(s) should demonstrate the range of topics they hope will be covered by the section at the conference. A 5-panel proposal should include at least 3 suggested themes; and a 10-panel proposal should outline a minimum of 6 suggested themes. If they wish, section chairs may also complement these themes with a list of possible papers or roundtable participants.
Section chair(s) are responsible for:
- proposing a section theme and a preliminary list of possible panels at the proposal stage;
- adhering to EISA’s inclusivity agenda by ensuring that the section does not feature any all-male panels and maintaining a balance between established, emerging, and postgraduate scholars;
- composing the rest of the section’s programme by selecting papers that were proposed in response to the general call for papers;
- identifying panel chairs and discussants;
- taking overall responsibility for the execution of their section’s contribution to the conference programme.
Section chairs must be EISA members.
If you wish your proposal to be considered as a new Standing Section (3-year term), please read and follow the specific guidelines, and tick the box “Standing Section” in the submission form.
