We invite you to submit your proposals for consideration by one of the 34 sections planned for the upcoming meeting. We welcome proposals for papers, panels or roundtables, as well as volunteers for chair and discussant duties. You may submit your proposal for review to a maximum of two sections. This is a sequential review with a computer serving as gatekeeper, so indicating first preference will provide that section chair with the right of first refusal to your proposal. Second preferences help the Program Committee identify opportunities for co-sponsored panels, so please select a second preference if your work overlaps multiple sections. Use the "All Academic" link above to submit proposals. Do not try to login from the SPSA homepage, as this is not yet functional!

Your user name is your entire email address. If you forgot your password, please follow the instructions in the far right hand column of the "All Academic" website. All information you provide may be updated through the Submitter Menu. Contact information is accessed from the "Edit Personal Contact Information" option.

Copies of all conference communication will reside in the All Academic Message Center. Check the site for the status of your proposal (by choosing to edit your proposal). Proposal Submission will close July 25, 2008.
