Dear Jeff, dear all,
There will definitely be preconference workshops in Tartu! The deadline for submitting the proposals for workshops is 1. March. Please find more information for drafting a poposal for organising preconference workshops below. For submitting the proposals and for more information about submissions please visit the conference website: https://aoir.org/aoir2017/subinfo2017/
Preconference workshops: Workshops may be either half or full-day events that occur on the first day of the conference and focus on a particular topic. They may be a workshop of some kind (e.g., a publishing workshop), a methodological “bootcamp” (e.g., on ethnography or statistical analysis), an exploration of a theoretical tradition or topical area (e.g., symbolic interaction, political economy, or GIS) or anything else that may be of interest to conference delegates. Proposals for workshops should explain for a general scholarly audience the goals of the workshop, the way it will operate, and an indication of potential audience or attendees who may be interested in attending (such as “early career scholars” or “researchers using statistical analysis”).
Proposals for workshops should be approximately 600-800 words in length (to be submitted as an “abstract” in the ConfTool Website: no separate document needs to be uploaded). They should name the facilitators and participants and are only single-blind peer-reviewed; the quality and expertise of the facilitators and other participants will be recognized in the assessment. The availability of individuals named as facilitators and panellists in workshop sessions *must* be confirmed by the time the proposal is submitted. Workshop proposals should indicate any special requirements, including especially any upper limits on the number of participants.
Workshop Submission Deadline: 1 March 2017
*All the best,*
