A. Proposing a Session (Panel, Roundtable, Meeting or Seminar)
Session organizers are responsible for entering all data for the session. This includes information regarding each session participant. (Please note that this is in contrast to previous years, in which session participants could add their own information.) Specifically, session organizers will need the following information in order to submit the proposal:
- A session title and 350-word session abstract
- Contact information, including name, position, institution, mailing address, e-mail address, and phone number for each participant
- Payment information, including each participant’s payment contribution number (this is e-mailed once membership and conference payments have been made) and the amounts paid for dues and conference. Please make sure all participants (presenters, chairs, respondents, and discussants) have paid online for their 2006-2007 Membership Dues and 2006 Conference Registration Fee before initiating the proposal. The online system will not allow you to proceed if a participant is missing the contribution number.
- Individual paper titles and 350-word abstracts (Please note: Session chairs, respondents, and roundtable discussants are not required to submit paper titles and abstracts.)
- Audio-visual requests (each participant may request one piece of audio-visual equipment).
General Comments:
- Traditional panels, seminars, and meetings can have up to five participants, including a maximum of four panelists presenting papers and a session chair OR a maximum of three panelists presenting papers, a respondent, and a session chair.
- Roundtables can have a maximum of five discussants and a session chair.
- All session proposals (panels, roundtables, seminars, and meetings) must include a chair.
- A presenter cannot be a chair or respondent in the same session.
- Each panelist’s membership dues and conference registration fees must be paid via the AJS’s secure server before a proposal can be submitted. Conference fees will be returned upon request if a session is not accepted. Membership dues are not refundable.

- Audio-visual requests must be made at the time of paper submission; audio-visual equipment requested after the proposal deadline will incur rental fees.
- Please make sure to contact the AJS office regarding any changes to panelists’ contact information.
