Call for Session Suggestions: 2017 International Population Conference 


The IUSSP Council is seeking suggestions from IUSSP members for sessions to appear in the Call for Papers for the 28th International Population Conference, which will take place in Cape Town, South Africa the week of 29 October 2017. To participate in shaping the scientific programme of the Conference, please submit your suggestions online by filling in this form .

 

Deadline for submission: 31 October 2014 


Your suggestion should include:

 

-a short, self-explanatory session title; 

 

-a short explanation for why the session should be included in the programme (maximum 200 words); 

 

-the names and email addresses of two potential organizers (you may include yourself as a potential organizer);

 

-a primary general theme in which the session belongs and a secondary general theme where the session should be cross-listed if the session addresses more than one theme (using the list of themes provided).

 

-If none of the general themes listed fits, please select “other” and write in the appropriate primary general theme for your suggestion.  

 

Please note that the International Organizing Committee makes final decisions on all sessions, organizers and themes. Your suggestion may be modified or merged with those of other members. Topics that are broad and likely to attract a large number of papers are more likely to be retained than narrow topics. Members are especially encouraged to propose sessions that address new research and innovative methodologies or contribute to theory and policy.   

 

Please also note that organizing a session does not entitle the organizer/chair for funding from IUSSP to attend the Conference.
