2008 Annual Conference
November 12-13, Houston, TX
Annual Meeting Proposal Application Form
Proposal Due: March 1, 2008

Session Format

CUFA invites proposals for sessions that report on empirical research or conceptual analyses of social education. Formats include: individual paper session, symposium, and alternative format.

Individual Paper Session
In paper sessions, authors present abbreviated versions of their papers. After the brief paper presentations, a discussant offers comments and the session chair moderates an audience discussion.

Symposium
A symposium is designed to explore a specific topic through active discussion. Such a session may showcase a panel discussion among the participants and discussants. Multiple opportunities are afforded for audience questions and comments.

Alternative Format Session
In addition to paper and symposium proposals, alternative formats for sessions such as performances, video presentations, and open round-table dialogues, are encouraged. If you have an idea for such a session, please submit a proposal providing a clear description of the session topic, the participants, and how the session will be conducted. Alternative session formats are intended to provide creative opportunities for conference attendees to interactively engage about issues in social education. When completing the online proposal form, be sure to select “OTHER” for the type of proposal.
