PEC 2023 Section Proposals

Section chairs are tasked with:

  • proposing a section around a theme; populating preliminary panels at the proposal stage; maintaining a balance between established and emerging scholars, and postgraduate students;
  • composing the rest of the section’s programme, by selecting papers that were proposed in response to the call for papers;
  • identifying panel chairs and discussants;
  • taking overall responsibility for the actual execution of their section’s contribution to the conference programme.


Please submit your section proposal using the attachment link below. The attached document should include the following:

  1. Name, institutional affiliation, EISA membership number and email address of the proposed section chair(s) – a maximum two chairs per section.
  2. Proposed section title and summary of its theme(s) and rationale(s) (no more than 250 words). Please state here if your proposed section is to contain 5 or 10 panels.
  3. Tentative indication of possible panels. We do not require a full list of panels, nor a list of paper titles or participants, but we would like at least 3 suggested themes for a 5-panel proposal and 6 suggested themes for a 10-panel proposal, which would show what the Section convenor(s) hope would be covered by the section at the conference.
