Call for papers for EAHN’s Second International Meeting

Abstracts are invited for the sessions and round tables at the Second International Meeting of the EAHN (Brussels, 31 May – 3 June 2012). Abstracts of no more than 300 words should be sent directly to the appropriate session or round table chair(s) and be submitted by 30 September 2011.

Sessions will consist of either five papers or four papers and a respondent, with time for dialogue and questions at the end. Each paper should be limited to a twenty minute presentation. Abstracts for session presentations should define the subject and summarise the argument to be presented in the proposed paper. Papers should be the product of well-documented original research that is primarily analytical and interpretative rather than descriptive in nature; they may not have been previously published, nor presented in public. Only one submission per author will be accepted.

Round tables will consist of five participants and allow enough time for debate and discussion among the chair(s) and the public. Each discussant will have ten minutes to present a position. Abstracts for round table debates should summarize the position to be taken in the discussion.

In addition to the twenty-three thematic sessions and four round tables that are established in the call for papers, open sessions may be announced. With the author’s approval, thematic session chairs may choose to recommend for inclusion in an open session an abstract that was submitted to, but does not fit into, a thematic session.

Speakers must be EAHN members and are expected to fund his or her own registration, travel to Brussels, and accommodation expenses.
