Proposals
Proposals should include:
Session title
Length of the proposed session: 20-30 minute session, 60-minute session, 90-minute session (please include a justification if requesting 90-minutes).
100-200 word abstract suitable for the conference program.
Based on participant feedback, we are reducing the number of 90-minute workshops available and adding more 20-30 minute “flash” sessions which would be the perfect
place for mini-workshops, assignment/curricula exhibitions or design activities, hosted table-discussions and other similar sessions.
This meets dual goals of keeping a wide variety of people participating while also allowing more unscheduled time for informal interactions between participants.
1-3 page description of session goals and interactive design, planned handouts, etc.
A list of relevant sources
To facilitate anonymous review, no identifying information should appear in the proposal. Please include contact information for each presenter, including institutional affiliations,
in the email or on a separate cover sheet.
How to submit
Send submissions via email to Jane Drexler, at
Deadline: February 17, 2020
