Indicate below your interest in specific sessions at the Global Congress.  For more info on sessions, please see: http://infojustice.org/public-events/globalcongress2012  (DRAFT WORKSHOP SESSIONS) 

Because the primary purpose of the Congress is to promote deliberation and action planning, the opportunities for formal presentation will be somewhat limited. We will, however, have spaces for keynote presentations or panel discussions for each session (see below). In addition, as in the inaugural year, the Congress will host small works-in-progress workshops to allow participants to share their own work and solicit feedback from peers.

More information about the call for papers and workshop participation can be found here.

All requests to present are considered on a rolling basis; early applications are encouraged. Please attach a draft of the paper or presentation if and when you have one.

Applications can be updated to revise the abstract or add a paper at a later date using the link you will receive by email. 

Applicants who are proposing to host a workshop are encouraged to apply as soon as possible, no later than August 1, for the purpose of agenda and space planning.

Limited travel scholarships are available with preferences for applicants who: lack sufficient institutional funding to otherwise participate; are from developing countries; or raise contributing funds from other sources. 

All meals will be provided at the conference venues. Funding is not available for incidental expenses or ground transportation, which are expected to be provided by participants or their host institutions absent exceptional circumstances.
