2011 Call For Panel Proposals

Fredericton 2011

EPTC/TCEP welcomes proposals for panels in any area relevant to EPTC/TCEP’s areas of interest. If you are interested in organizing a panel for the 2011 EPTC/TCEP Annual Conference at the Congress of the Canadian Federation for the Humanities and Social Sciences (to be held at the University of New Brunswick and St. Thomas University, Fredericton, from May 31 to June 3), please:

1) Prepare a brief description of the panel (no more than 250 words) that includes a description of the topic to be addressed and a justification for the topic’s relevancy and timeliness, particularly with reference to EPTC/TCEP’s mandate.

2) Suggest how many papers will be included in your panel (maximum 7, but normally 3 or 4). Please note that if your panel is accepted, EPTC may not be able to accommodate your request, but you will be notified, along with your panel acceptance, of how many slots have been allotted to your panel.

3) Submit the above to This e-mail address is being protected from spam bots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it (English) or This e-mail address is being protected from spam bots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it (French) no later than September 1, 2010.

Please note that panel organizers will be responsible for:
1) Drafting and circulating the panel's CFP. If you would like it to be included on EPTC/TCEP’s mailing list, it must be submitted to Fred Bruneault ( This e-mail address is being protected from spam bots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it ) by September 15, 2010.
2) Collecting submissions and fielding inquiries.
3) Organizing and undertaking blind review of panel submissions.
4) Organizing chairs and commentators for your panel sessions.
5) Regularly updating program coordinators of the status of the panel and notifying them in a timely fashion of any changes to the panel. (Note: generally, we will not be able to accommodate more paper slots than originally proposed and allotted).

While we understand that unforeseeable events may occur, please note that panel slots are coveted and competitive and that your submission of a proposal indicates that you feel reasonably confident that you will be able to fill your proposed slots with high quality papers.

Panel selection criteria:

relevance and timeliness of proposed topic
thematic complementarity with other selected panels, and panels of previous years (i.e. avoiding redundancy but continuing and expanding fruitful directions of inquiry)
panel organizer's prior knowledge of, involvement in, and commitment to ETPC/TCEP.
