Guidelines for submitting proposals

[back to AHAA at CAA]

As an affiliated society of CAA, AHAA can sponsor two sessions at the CAA annual conference: a two-and-a-half-hour "scholarly" session and a one-and-a-half-hour professional session. In compliance with CAA's mandates, proposals for scholarly sessions must be submitted two years in advance of the conference date, and those for professional sessions must be submitted a year in advance. Proposals for AHAA-sponsored sessions are reviewed by the AHAA Sessions Committee under the guidance of the Sessions Coordinator, and the final selection must be approved by AHAA's Co-Chairs.

AHAA seeks to include new voices, and younger scholars are encouraged to make submissions. Chairs of AHAA-sponsored sessions must be current members of both AHAA and CAA. Proposals should include a title for and short description of the session along with the proposer's CV and a statement of expertise in the topic or area proposed. For examples of appropriate topics, see the list of past AHAA-sponsored CAA sessions.
