Submissions may be either
(1) individual papers submitted on the following themes:

Individual papers are to be no more than 20-minutes in length, i.e., roughly ten typewritten pages. Papers should be original in content and not have been previously delivered.
Submissions are to be emailed to at scsc-rsa@georgetown.edu . They are due Friday, 16 May 2008. Decisions will be made within two weeks. Submissions should include
• a two-hundred word abstract of the paper. Full panel submissions should also include an abstract of the panel as a whole.
• a brief c.v. for each participant.
• Full panel submissions should be submitted as a single email.
By submitting a paper, the applicant promises that if his/her paper is accepted, s/he will deliver the paper at the conference in person. Membership in the RSA is required for attendance at the conference. All arrangements to attend the conference are the responsibility of the individual panelists.
