- Work, Class, and Community
Presenters will be organized into panels of either 2 or 3 papers, with each paper being allocated 20 minutes. Applicants are invited to submit 250 word proposals for individual papers or panels of either two or three papers. Submissions must be accompanied by a short biographical statement and email contact information.
