Call for Papers
As with the conference last year we are calling for papers either under the streams listed below or under keywords. We hope that the use of key words will promote a dialogue across traditional subject specialisms.
If you would like to host a stream that is not listed, a panel (minimum of three papers), or special session (e.g. author meets critic) please contact Caroline Hunter.
* The deadline for abstract submissions is 1 February 2008. The book of abstracts can be downloaded here.

Keywords
Keywords allow for the programming of papers in a way which promotes dialogue across traditional subject specialisms and for papers which may not "fit" into any of the streams which are being organised. The keywords for this year are:
- Governance
- Poverty and welfare
- Space (real and virtual)
- Vulnerability
- Participation
- Identities
- Trust
- Histories
- Resistance
- Change
To submit an abstract under keywords please use our Abstract Submission Form. The form permits submission under a primary and additional keyword and we would encourage you to submit nominating both to facilitate programming.
