Abstracts are invited for the sessions and round tables listed below by September 8, 2023. Abstracts of no more than 300 words should be submitted at eahn2024@gmail.com along with the applicant’s name, email address, professional affiliation, address, telephone number and a short curriculum vitae, all included in one single .pdf file. The file must be named as follows: session or round table number, hyphen, surname e.g. S05-Tsiambaos.pdf, RT02-Tournikiotis.pdf, etc.
Please, note that you shall not directly contact the chair-s of each session. Your paper proposal can only go through the official eahn2024 website/email for reasons of transparency.
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 15-20-minute presentation. Abstracts for presentations should define the subject and summarize the argument to be presented in the proposed paper. The content of that paper should be the product of well-documented original research that is primarily analytical and interpretative rather than descriptive in nature.
Round tables will consist of five to ten participants and an extended time for dialogue, debate and discussion among chair(s) and the public. Each discussant will have 5-10 minutes to present a position. Abstracts for round table debates should summarize the position to be taken in the discussion.
Papers may not have been previously published, nor presented in public. Only one submission per author will be accepted. No one may act both as chair of a session/round table and as a speaker/discussant in another session/round table. All abstracts will be held in confidence during the selection process. In addition to the 25 thematic sessions and 3 round tables listed below, 2 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.
Session and round table chairs will notify all persons submitting abstracts of the acceptance or rejection of their proposals and comment on them by November 17, 2023. All chairs have the prerogative to recommend changes to the abstract in order to coordinate it with a session or round table program. The selected speakers must return edited abstracts to chairs no later than December 19, 2023. Authors of accepted paper proposals must submit the complete text of their papers (for a 15-20-minute presentation) to their session chair or a complete draft of the discussion position (for a 5-10-minute presentation) to their round table chair by February 16, 2024. Chairs may suggest editorial revisions to a paper or discussion position in order to make it satisfy session or round table guidelines and will return it with comments to the speaker by March 15, 2024. Speakers must complete any revisions and distribute copies of their paper or discussion position to the chair-s by April 19, 2024. Chairs reserve the right to withhold a paper or a discussion position from the program if the author has refused to comply with these guidelines. It is the responsibility of the chair(s) to inform speakers of these guidelines, as well as of the general expectations for both a session and participation in this meeting. Each speaker is expected to fund his or her own registration, travel and expenses to Athens, Greece. All authors have to pay their registration fee to be included in the programme.
The final programme of sessions and roundtables will be announced by late April, early May 2024.
