Abstracts significantly over the word count will not be accepted.
The abstracts will be anonymised and reviewed by the three co-onvenors of the Group, taking into account the suitability of the topic, the stage of research process (if appropriate), and the significance of the findings or arguments proposed to the Group.
Abstracts will then be ordered into the presentation slots available. Presenters will be allocated 15 minutes presentation time which will be followed by five minutes for questions.
Conference Details
