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.
