CORRECTION: [URBANTH-L]SUNTA Invited Panels for AAA 2009 Philadelphia

[Donald M. Nonini]

To AAA Members who wish to have Invited Panels sponsored by SUNTA:

Please submit your proposal for an invited panel to me directly at
dnonini at email.unc.edu by absolutely no later than March 1.   It should have
a panel abstract and a list of speakers, their paper titles and paper
abstracts.   

After March 1, the SUNTA 2009 Program Committee will reach a decision by
ranking all invited proposal sessions, and then contact those invited panel
organizers who are highly ranked by no later than March 10.  At that point,
these organizers will be urged to formally submit their invited panel
proposals to the AAA electronically with the Program Committee's
endorsement.   

Put another way, you do NOT have to formally submit to the AAA before the
SUNTA 2009 Program Committee considers your proposal for sponsorship of an
invited session.

According to the AAA, "Invited sessions (reserved time presentations) are
intended to be arranged by a section to present cutting-edge research and/or
critical issues of interest to the entire section and members of other
sections."  

Please bear in mind that panels can be 1.75 hours in length or a double
session of 3.75 hours, with no speaker provided more than 15 minutes.

Please also bear in mind that the final deadline for all panel materials to
be formally received electronically by the AAA is April 1.


This email corrects my email previously sent out below on URBANTH-L ---
please DISREGARD with my apologies.    If you previously contacted me about
an invited session, could I ask you to contact me again?  (I will do my best
to get in touch with you, but let's be safe.)

Thanks,



Your humble (and growing ever more humble) SUNTA 2009 Program Chair,

To AAA member who wish to have invited panels sponsored by SUNTA,
 
This is to let you know that if you are putting together a proposal for an
INVITED session to be sponsored by SUNTA, it is due to the AAA by no later
than March 1.   This is in line with the same deadline for other units of
the AAA.     We are reminding everyone to submit their proposals for invited
panels directly to the AAA, which then forwards all invited panel proposals
to the SUNTA 2009 Program Committee for consideration.   (We aren't allowed
to receive your proposals directly.)
 
Many thanks, and we look forward to receiving exciting and important invited
panel proposals for SUNTA for AAA 2009 in Philadelphia!
