Europe’s Past, Present, and Future: Utopias and Dystopias

University of Iceland | Reykjavik, Iceland
24-26 June 2021
For the detailed Call for Proposals, visit the CES website

 

CES invites proposals for panels, roundtables, book discussions, and individual papers on the study of Europe, including its various expansions and contractions over CES’ fifty-year history. We encourage proposals in the widest range of disciplines, and particularly welcome panels that combine disciplines, nationalities, genders, scholarly career stages, and other pertinent identities. On the occasion of its 50th anniversary, CES is especially open to engaging participants from traditionally underrepresented or underserved communities.

All proposals may be submitted from September 15-October 25, 2020. Applicants whose proposals were accepted for the (canceled) 2020 conference will be given a priority in the selection process; however, we kindly request that you resubmit your paper/panel on the 2021 submission portal. We also welcome new submissions, and we strongly encourage full panel submissions. Participants may find it useful to connect with like-minded scholars through the growing number of CES Research Networks.

Please note that participants may present in a maximum of two paper sessions and one book panel/roundtable. Participation as a chair or a discussant does not count towards the limit. 

Submit in a Single Paper Proposal category if you are submitting an individual paper or a paper for an organized panel.

Submit in a Roundtable/Book Panelist Proposal category if you have been invited to a Book Panel or a Roundtable by the chair/panel organizer.

If you are a chair/panel organizer, please submit into a Paper Panel or Book Panel/Roundtable category. 

Panel proposals cannot be submitted until ALL panel participants have submitted proposal applications individually. Invited panelists should specify that their proposal is part of a panel and should provide the panel organizer/chair's email. The panel organizer/chair will then receive a confirmation email with a paper proposal number for each paper submitted to her/his panel. 

What are the differences between the types of panels?

  • Paper Panels consist of 4-5 papers organized around a common theme with comments provided by a chair and a discussant.
  • Book Panels (also known as "Author Meets Critics") bring together 4-6 scholars to debate a recent publication in the field and are moderated by a chair.
  • Roundtables assemble 4-6 scholars to discuss a common theme, idea, or topic with moderation provided by a chair. 
  • And mini-simposia is a thematic cluster of 2-4 sessions of any of the above type grouped together.
