Seminars
Seminars are small-group (maximum 20 individuals) discussion sessions
for which participants write brief "position papers" that
are read and circulated prior to the conference. Participation of
conferees in seminars is one of the most significant features of
the MSA conference. Held over 3 days in concurrent sessions, the
seminars generate lively and valuable exchange during the conference
and in some cases have created a network of scholars who have continued
to work together. Further, the seminar model allows most conferees
to seek financial support from their institutions as they educate
themselves and their colleagues on subjects of mutual interest.
Conference attendees are welcome to audit other seminars where specified
in the program, but can only participate in one seminar. Seminar
topics are listed below.
Seminar Registration
Individuals may submit a ranked list of two or three seminars
and/or a proposal for a panel. Since we can accept only a limited
number of panel proposals, we encourage all prospective participants
to consider participation in one of the 35 seminars listed. Seminar
assignments will be made on a first-come, first-served basis; the
sooner you submit your selections, the better your chance of receiving
your first choice. Seminar selections should be sent to:
