Preconference

Registration is now closed for preconference events

This year, rather than arrange preconference workshops ourselves, last fall we asked the membership to submit proposals.  Our choices were difficult to make, but out of a wide range of exciting submissions, we are delighted to offer the following:

The cost of pre-conference workshops and seminars is $15, payable during online registration.

You must pre-register for these events! To check availability and sign up or be added to the waitlist for one of the seminars or workshops, please contact Greta Gaard: .

Each workshop and seminar will last for three hours on the afternoon of May 28th and will be limited to 15 participants. Advanced registration is open now, and will close March 31st (or when full, whichever is earlier). Some preconference preparation will be required for seminars, as noted in the descriptions. Become titles of position papers will be listed in the conference program, we encourage (but will not require) seminar participants to consider attending the seminar in lieu of presenting at the conference itself (rather than doing both).
