Doctoral student applicants whose proposals are accepted for the 2014 Convention, who will not have defended their dissertation by 1 November 2013, and whose papers are delivered by the deadline, will automatically be considered for the awards. Each award comes with a certificate and a cash prize. The ASN Convention inaugurated in 2010 an annual ASN Harriman Book Prize—the Joseph Rothschild Prize in Nationalism and Ethnic Studies. For information on how to have a book considered for the ASN 2014 Convention Book Prize, please contact Dmitry Gorenburg at asnbookprize@gmail, or go to nationalities.org/prizes/Rothschild.asp. The Convention is also inviting submissions for documentaries made within the past few years and available in DVD format (either NTSC or PAL). The documentaries selected will be screened during regular panel slots and, in several cases, will be followed by a discussion with the filmmaker. Proposal Information The ASN 2014 Convention invites proposals for individual papers or panels. A panel includes a chair, three or four presentations based on written papers, and a discussant. The Convention is also welcoming offers to serve as discussant on a panel to be created by the Program Committee from individual paper proposals. The application to be considered as discussant can be self-standing, or accompanied by an individual paper proposal. In order to send proposals to the Convention, the three mandatory items indicated below (contact information, abstract, biographical statement) must be included in a single Word document (PDF documents will not be accepted) attached to a single email message. Each applicant – single or multiple authors in individual proposals, every member of a panel proposal – must also fill out a Fact Sheet online that can be accessed at surveymonkey/s/PS7FCBM. IMPORTANT: Applicants can only send one paper proposal -- whether as an individual proposal, or as a paper part of a panel proposal. The Program will not consider more than one paper proposal from the same applicant. At the Convention, each panelist can only appear on a maximum of TWO panels, only one of which can be in the capacity of a paper presenter. For example, a panelist can chair a panel and present a paper on another, or chair a panel and be discussant or another, and so forth. This rule applies to co-authored papers, thus a co-authored paper presentation counts as one appearance. Individual paper proposals must include four items: *Contact information: the name, email, postal address and academic affiliation of the applicant. *A 300- to 500-word abstract that includes the title of the paper. *A 100-word biographical statement, in narrative form (a text with the length of one paragraph). Standard CVs will be rejected. Individual proposals featuring more than one author (joint proposal) must include the contact information and biographical statement of all authors and specify who among the co-authors intend to attend the Convention. Only joint presenters attending the Convention will have their names in the official program. *A Fact Sheet, to be filled out online (see above). In the case of co-authors, only those intending to attend the Convention must send a Fact Sheet. The Word document proposal must indicate that the Fact Sheet has been filled out online. Panel proposals must include four items: *Contact information (see above) of all proposed panelists. *The title of the panel and a 200- to 300-word abstract of each paper. *A 100-word biographical statement (see above) for each proposed panelist. Statements in standard CV format will be rejected. The rules on joint proposals are the same as with individual proposals (see above). *A Fact Sheet, to be filled out online (see above), for each panelist attached to the proposal. The Word document proposal must indicate that all panelists have filled out their Fact Sheet online. Proposals can also be sent for roundtables and book panels. Roundtables include a chair, four presenters, but no discussant, since the presentations, unlike regular panels, are not based on written papers. Roundtable proposals include the same four items as a panel proposal, except that the 200- to 300-word abstracts are presentation abstracts, rather than paper abstracts. The Convention is also inviting proposals for Book Panels, based on books published between January 2013 and February 2014. The proposal must include the Chair, three discussants, as well as the author. A Book Panel proposal must include the same four items as a panel proposal, except that the abstract is limited to a 200- to 300-word abstract of the book. The discussants need not submit an abstract. Proposals for documentaries must include four items: *Contact information (see above) *A 300- to 500-word abstract of the documentary *A 100-word biographical statement (see above). CVs will be rejected. *A Fact Sheet filled out online (see above). Two copies of the documentary on DVD (in NTSC or PAL format) will also need to be sent to the Convention, unless there is an agreement to provide a streaming link. These and other matters will be discussed upon receipt of the film proposals. Proposals for a roundtable following the screening of a film are most welcome. In these cases, the requirements of a panel proposal apply, in addition to the 300- to 500-word abstract of the film. Proposals to serve as a discussant must include four items: *Contact information (see above) *A 100-word statement about your areas of expertise *A 100-word biographical statement (see above). CVs will be rejected. *A Fact Sheet filled out online (see above) Proposals for applicants already included in an individual paper or panel proposal need only include the 100-word statement on areas of expertise. IMPORTANT: All proposals must be sent in a single email message, with an attached proposal in a Word document (PDFs will not be accepted) containing contact information, an abstract, a biographical statement, as well as a confirmation that the Fact Sheet has been filled out online (or multiple Fact Sheets, in the case of co-authors and/or panel proposals). Proposals including contact information, the abstract and the bio statement in separate attachments, or over several email messages, will not be considered. The proposals must be sent to [email protected] AND darelasn2014@gmail. ASN has no funding available for panelists.
