You may send as a Word attachment or in the body of the email.
You may also send a completed paper of not more than 15 minutes
reading time. Please provide your contact information (name,
institutional mailing address, phone numbers, and email) as well.
If you would like to propose a panel of 4 speakers each,
please include the following:

You may also propose a discussion panel of between 4-6 participants.
All presenters must be members of the PCA and must register
for the conference. Membership and registration forms will be
sent to you upon acceptance of your presentation.
Acceptance of your paper obligates you to present the paper
at the conference. Multiple submissions to different areas are
not allowed. You must also be present at the conference to read
your own paper—no "readings by proxy" are allowed.
You are highly encouraged to enhance your presentation
through audio-visuals. Each conference room will be equipped
with a DVD player and monitor. No other equipment is available.
Please know that specially produced or "burnt" DVDs may prove to
be incompatible in format with the provided DVD players. However,
we hope to have TVs with VGA input and cables, so please
feel free to bring your laptop computer.
If you have specific days and times at which you would like to present, please let me know at the time of submission. I will forward your request to the schedulers. Please be aware that not all requests can be honored.
