Abstract and Roundtable Submission

Call for Papers

We welcome abstracts for papers to be delivered at the Planning Research Conference that fit the broad themes and scope of the conference.

Please select the two tracks most relevant for your abstract and indicate your first and second preference. Abstracts should:

  • Include the names/ institutions and contact details of contributors
  • Be no more than 150 words in the body of the abstract
  • Set out the core theme or hypothesis of your paper
  • Indicate the approach and methodology, and broad findings to be delivered in your paper
  • Highlight the relevance of your work to planning scholarship, education, or practice
  • Supply 3 keywords and 3 key references.

Call for Roundtables

A limited number of slots for roundtable discussions are available. Roundtable discussions may draw together key researchers in a field to discuss a particularly pertinent theme or topic. Priority will be given to roundtables that address the broad theme of the conference on alternative futures for planning. Please supply abstracts for a roundtable that include:

  • A title
  • The core question or issues to be discussed in the roundtable
  • The relevance of this question or issue to planning scholarship, education, or practice
  • A list of a minimum of 3 invited speakers (with contact details), who should have indicated that they are willing to speak at the roundtable
  • The name of an organiser and moderator (who can be the same person)

Submission

The deadline for abstract submissions has now passed.

If you missed the deadline but are still interested in presenting a paper then please email prc2018@sheffield.ac.uk and we will see what we can do.

Track chairs will review abstracts for acceptance, and will also use the information provided to gather papers together into sessions. Abstracts will be published and collected in a Book of Abstracts, so please do ensure that your text is suitable for publication.

Authors and roundtable organisers will be notified about the acceptance of their abstract by Friday the 27th of July.
