CALL FOR
PAPERS
The theme for our conference will be ‘Authenticity'. All we need at this stage is a 500 word abstract for your individual presentation, panel or workshop. We expect that all presentations will be made in-person in Glasgow.

The conference timeline is slightly more condensed than in previous years. We encourage delegates to review the key dates carefully and to submit registrations and abstracts as early as possible, and we appreciate your understanding and cooperation as we finalise arrangements.
