CALL FOR PAPERS—Scholar’s Workshop—Friday, March 22
Submission requirements: Scholars at all levels should submit rough, working drafts of original scholarship on any topic that they are preparing for potential journal or chapter publication. We are especially interested in drafts regarding pedagogy at all levels of education. The drafts will be shared with attendees prior to the event and each participant will be given time to present their work and get feedback from other participants. Space is limited and participation in the general meeting is not a requirement though presenters will be able to attend the general meeting. Please submit: Title of the project, 150-word abstract, author’s name, institutional affiliation, email, and indicate the status of project (i.e. first draft, a draft under revision, etc.)
Please send questions and submissions for the main program and the workshop to Clint Jones at Clint.Jones@uwsp.edu with ‘KPA SUBMISSION GENERAL’ or ‘KPA SUBMISSION WORKSHOP’ appearing in the subject line. Submissions to both are permissible but must be different entries.
