Proposals should consist of title and abstract (around 300 words; no more than a side of A4). Proposals from postgraduate students are particularly welcomed. Submission of sessions or panels of three related papers (plus chair, if liked) are encouraged. We are also especially interested in possible sessions which link together different disciplines, or which bring together academics and practitioners.
