AESS 2011 Sessions
Seeking Participants
The titles of all open sessions are listed below. To submit an
abstract for one of these sessions, follow the normal abstract submission
process located here
on the conference website. Please be sure to specify the session title in your
abstract!
Full descriptions of the sessions are available here.
If you have questions on any of the sessions, please contact the session
coordinator listed below.
There are both open panel sessions and open symposia. The
definitions and differences are as follows:
Definition of a panel session: Panel
sessions include shorter oral presentations than symposia – a maximum of 10
minutes – and are primarily designed to promote thought and discussion rather
than to convey (for example) research results. The emphasis is on the
discussion at least as much as it is on the individual oral presentations.
Definition of a symposium: A symposium is a
collection of oral presentations focused on conveying theory, research results,
or other scholarly content. The focus of this type of session is on the content
of the presentations. Presentation length limit is 15 minutes.
