The conference this year will feature plenary sessions on the culture of

We welcome proposals in the following categories:

1: Individual papers. Proposals for individual papers are due by October
15, and should be submitted at
http://www.csaus.pitt.edu/conf/submit.php?cf=3
Successful submission will be acknowledged. If you do not receive an
acknowledgement within 24 hours, please resubmit. The acknowledgement will
say that your proposal has been "successfully submitted," which does NOT
mean your proposal has been accepted.

All paper proposals require:

a. The name, email address, institutional affiliation of the author,
entered on the website.
b. A 500 word abstract for the 20 minute paper entered on the website.
c. Any needed audio-visual equipment must be noted following the abstract
in that space on the site.

2. Preconstituted paper sessions, roundtable* sessions, or workshops.*
These should NOT be submitted on this website, but should be sent to
[log in to unmask] with the words "Session Proposal" in the subject line.
Session proposals are due by October 15th. All proposals will be
acknowledged, but please allow at least two business days before inquiring.

All session proposals require:

a. The name, email address, phone number, and institutional affiliation of
the proposer.
b. A 500 word overview of the session, identifying the type of session
proposed. For paper sessions, also include 500 word abstracts of each of
the papers: maximum, four papers per session; minimum three papers per session.

participant.
d. A request for any needed audio-visual equipment. All AV equipment must
be requested with the proposal.

3. Seminar proposals. Due: October 15.

The conference will again feature a series of seminars. Seminars are
small-group (maximum 15 individuals) discussion sessions for which
participants write brief "position papers" that are circulated prior to the
conference. Those wishing to lead seminars are encouraged to submit a proposal.

All seminar proposals require:

a. A 500 word overview of the topic designed to attract participants as
well as the following:
b. The name, email address, phone number, mailing address, and
institutional affiliation of the leader proposing the seminar.
c. A brief bio or one page CV of the leader proposing the seminar.
d. A request for any needed audio-visual equipment. All AV equipment must
be requested with the proposal. Since seminars typically involve discussion
of previously circulated papers, such requests must be explained.

Those interested in participating in (rather than leading) a seminar should
consult the list of seminars and the instructions for signing up for them,
available at http://www.csaus.pitt.edu after November 1.

All participants in the Fourth Annual meeting must be members of CSA.
Membership dues for 2006 will be $40 for those employed full-time, and $20
for those employed part-time and for graduate students. In addition,
registration fees must be paid by all participants. See the registration
page of this website for details about fees and deadlines.

If you have any questions about procedures for submission or other
concerns, please e-mail us at: [log in to unmask]

*Roundtables are sessions in which panelists offer brief remarks, but the
bulk of the session is devoted to discussion among the panelists and
audience members. Workshops are similarly devoted primarily to discussion,
but they focus on practical problems in such areas as teaching, research,
or activism. No paper titles may be included for roundtables or workshops.
