Guidelines for Paper Proposals

Update 5 April 2004 - Please note that proposals are no longer being accepted for the conference.

A number of prospective speakers have asked for guidelines about paper proposals for the conference. Participants are welcome to follow these guidelines, if they wish.

Please include the following information with your proposal:

• A 300 word description of your paper.
• The full title of your paper.
• Your name, postal address, and email address.
• Your insitutional affiliation and position (e.g. Professor, postgraduate student, etc)
• Any AV requirements you might have
• Your IASIL Membership status (ie - present member, membership to be renewed, membership application submitted/to be submitted)

If you are making a submission by email, please send your proposal in plain text in the body of your email, and as an attachment in a Word document.

We are soliciting proposals for papers of 20 minutes' duration (approximately 2,500 - 2,700 words).  This time limit must be strictly ahered to, and it wil be strictly enforced by panel chairs. If your paper is accepted, you will be placed in a panel with two or three other speakers who are dealing with similar themes. Ample time will be made available for discussion of your paper.

It may be possible for us to faciliate speakers with papers that last longer than 20 minutes, but only by prior arrangement.

We welcome proposals for papers presented jointly by more than one speaker.

The conference theme is "Writing Ireland 2004: Past, Present and Future". You may submit a paper that is relevant to this theme, but we welcome papers on any aspect of the literatures of Ireland. Papers that address any of the literary anniversaries of 2004, or writers associated with Galway, are particularly welcome.

The conference organisers will liaise with you to choose an appropriate time and location for your paper.  If there are any dates on which you are definitely not available, please tell us now (this will not affect the acceptance of your paper, but will assist us greatly)

All speakers must be members of IASIL. Membership information is HERE.

All speakers must pay the conference registration fee in advance.  Registration details will be posted online in April 2004.

All speakers are responsible for their own registration, travel and visa arrangements, and accommodation. We will provide relevant information on this site.  

Graduate Students are particularly welcome - as discussed in more detail HERE.

A selection of papers from the conference may be published (subject to confirmation). If publication goes ahead, the deadline for submissions will fall soon after the conference - probably no later than 1 September 2004. Submissions will be subjected to indepedent peer review. Look HERE for more.

Paper proposals will be accepted until 1 March 2004 by email at conference@iasil.org or by post to
