SYMPOSIA PROPOSALS
As always, members and non-members are invited to submit proposals for symposia. We invite submissions from all PhD-level social psychologists from all backgrounds and especially encourage submissions by individuals from underrepresented and historically excluded groups. When preparing proposals, we invite people to read our statement on equity, diversity, and inclusion (see
https://www.sesp.org/index.asp)
We are particularly interested in symposia examining new topics, offering novel approaches to longstanding issues, and linking areas of research not typically connected. We encourage panels including both established and younger members of SESP and speakers from diverse backgrounds and different types of institutions.
Symposia Guidelines
1.
The chair and presenters can be SESP members or nonmembers with Ph.D.s. Unfortunately, graduate students cannot present talks or chair symposia (though they may be listed as co-authors). However, current graduate students who complete their Ph.D. by September 2022 may give talks and serve as symposia chairs.
2. The first author is the person who presents at the symposium. An individual can only serve as a first author on only ONE paper, but they can be a co-author and/or non-presenter on other papers in the conference. Symposia proposals that include speakers presenting in multiple sessions may be declined.
It is the responsibility of the symposium chair to confirm that all suggested speakers are volunteering to present in only ONE session.
3. A symposium generally consists of FOUR presentations. It is up to the chair whether to add a discussant to the four presentations or not (typically, most symposia do not have discussants as the total time of sessions will be only 70 minutes).
4.
All symposia chairs and presenters are expected to register and pay associated fees for the conference. The symposium organizer should ensure that all presenters are aware of this.
Please download and complete the
Symposium Proposal Form, save it as a pdf, and upload it to the
Symposium Proposal Portal. The proposal form asks for an overall title and abstract for the symposium and titles and abstracts for each individual presentation (no more than 250 words each).
Proposals will be accepted through
July 15, 2022. Notifications will be made by the end of July.
