We invite presentation proposals focusing on:

Presentation proposals on other topics will also be considered if Symposium scheduling allows.
Applications should include:
- Your current and/or recent sessional appointment(s) at the UofR, Campion, Luther, or FNUniv.
- A description of your proposed presentation in 200 words or less.
Applicants may, if they choose, indicate if they identify as members of equity-deserving groups, including members of racialized groups, people with disabilities, sexual and gender minorities, and Indigenous people.
Guidelines:
Individual presentations will be a maximum of 20 minutes long, including questions and discussion. Presenters should aim to speak/present for 12 minutes to allow sufficient time for questions and discussion.
Group proposals (including roundtable discussions on a theme or topic, themed group panels, co-presentations, etc.) are welcome. Group proposals should be submitted as a single application, with current/recent sessional appointment(s) of all presenters, contact information for all presenters, and a description of the group presentation in 500 words or less.
