25-28 September, 2003 :: Birmingham, UK
Seminars
are small-group discussion sessions (of no more than 15 people) for
which participants write brief "position papers" that are
read and circulated prior to the conference. Seminars generate lively
and valuable exchange during the conference and in some cases have created
a network of scholars who have continued to work together. Further,
the peer seminar model allows most conferees to seek financial support
from their institutions as they educate themselves and their colleagues
on subjects of mutual interest.

Registration Instructions
Individuals may submit a ranked list of three seminars (including the name of the seminar leader) in which they would like to participate. Since we can accept only a limited number of panel proposals, we encourage all prospective participants to consider joining one of the 30 peer seminars listed. Seminar assignments will be made on a first-come, first-served basis; the sooner you submit your selections, the better your chance of receiving your first choice.
Please email ranked seminar selections and panel proposals to Samantha Skinner at sjskinner@yahoo.com and include summer contact information.
