We’re introducing a new panel format this year: 5–10 minute opening remarks from each panelist, then a discussant-led conversation and audience Q&A. No full paper or long presentation required. We especially welcome early career scholars and graduate students—bring a strong idea and join the conversation!

Want to submit, but don’t know where to begin? Here’s a little more info!
