Please note that proposals will only be accepted by mail; we will not accept e-mail submissions.
Proposals for all categories of presentations should consist of the following: four copies of both a cover sheet and an abstract (400 words max.), and one self-addressed stamped envelope.
TYPES OF PRESENTATIONS:
1. PAPERS are 50-minute individual presentations.
2. SYMPOSIA are 50-minute sessions in which no more than four people may present.
3. WORKSHOPS are 2- and 3-hour programs designed to provide participants with practical experience and specific skills. Please indicate the length of your workshop on your proposal.
4. STUDENT POSTER PRESENTATIONS are an opportunity for master's and doctoral students in psychology and education to present their recent scholarship during an hour-long poster session. A student must be the first author on all poster presentation submissions and each submission should contain no more than four authors. Complimentary registration will be provided to the first authors of accepted poster presentations.
Thanks to Joseph G. Ponterotto, J. Manuel Casas, Lisa A. Suzuki, and Charlene M. Alexander, the editors of the Handbook of Multicultural Counseling (2nd edition), a student scholarship fund has been established. This year, students whose poster presentation proposals are accepted will receive free registration to the Winter Roundtable and a $100 stipend. On posters with multiple authors, the scholarship will be awarded to the first author only.
5. ROUNDTABLE DISCUSSIONS are 1-hour dialogues about a broad theme of cultural relevance in psychology and education. Each theme consists of smaller discussion groups that address various sub-themes pertaining to the general theme. There should be no more than four sub-themes proposed for each general theme. In addition, no more than four people may be involved in facilitating discussions for one particular general theme.
