Presentation Format Details

Paper (25 mins)

A presentation which may be supported with visual material and handouts. Paper presentations will be allocated 25 minutes including 5 minutes for questions and answers. We welcome a range of paper styles including theoretical, empirical, and creative presentations (narrative, poetic, visual etc)

Symposium (90 mins: 3-4 papers + discussant )

Symposia provide an opportunity for several presenters with a related theme or topic to present together in a supportive environment. Symposium organisers may divide the time slot they are allotted as they choose but time should be allocated for opening and closing remarks, presentations, and audience interaction. It is the responsibility of the symposium chair to organise their group and to submit their symposium on behalf of all their contributors.

Round table (15 mins including discussion)

Round table presentations are less formal discussions of individual papers with 3-4 other presenters, and delegates. They are useful for work that is in progress or for presenters preferring a shorter or more relaxed format. Presenters will have 10 mins each to discuss their paper in turn. Extra time will be allocated for general discussion.

Workshop or master class (60 mins or 90 mins)

This format provides an opportunity for presenters to employ a workshop/interactive approach to their presentation. This format will be designed to engage participants in discussion and interaction around the topic.
