Submissions will be reviewed anonymously. Any contact information collected will not be linked to your submission during review. We will only use the information on file to communicate decisions or ask for clarification, and it will only be accessible to the SDS Events & Conference Committee. You may designate a single point of contact for your entire group or share the information of all presenters if you would all like to be included in future communications. 

You have two options for submission. 

• The first is to use the Google-based submission form embedded below.

• The second, if the form is not accessible to you, is to email a single PDF with the following components to meeting@disstudies.org by the deadline:

  1. Session Title

  2. Session Abstract (max. 300 words)

  3. Keywords (three max., separated using a semi-colon)

  4. Session Format

     • If submitting a panel or roundtable, let us know whether you have a Chair or Discussant lined up or whether you'd like to be matched with one later if accepted.

     • If submitting a non-traditional session format, please provide additional details and accessibility information.

  5. Anonymized details on the people involved in your session (you may provide information like position type and level, academic discipline or non-academic field, institution type, research interests, etc.)

  6. Contact information of organizer(s) or all participants for future communication.

You do not need to be a member of SDS to submit a proposal to the conference (although we'd love your support). You will, however, be required to obtain membership and pay registration if accepted.
